Graduate school dilemma

Caramel and I happened to discuss graduate school this afternoon. We both were thinking of going back to school together in a few years...preferably before the age of 30. If we did go back to school together, we could save on a lot of things since we can split the cost of living, food and transportation. The only bother is the tuition fees.

How on earth am I going to save USD 34,000 in a few years? I have to try somehow....I dont want to have to pay off a study loan, but based on preliminary calculations, thats my only option. I fully understand now why some girls strip to pay tuition fees. Ugh. Grad school is a killer that will strip you financially naked and assault your bank account repeatedly.

Note to self: NEVER become a parent.

And then, there's the question of my GPA..which isnt exactly the most impressive thing on the fucking planet. Its not shabby, but it could've been a lot better. Its a little too late to regret anything anyway and I will just have to make do with what I already have.

I've also been thinking about going back to school to get a degree in audio/radio broadcasting. Its a little cheaper and I'll finally get to do what I've always wanted to do. Besides, Caramel can help with schoolwork! MWAHAHHA! If I do choose to get another degree, the first place I'll enroll is SUNY in Plattsburgh. I'd do an internship during my summer break.

If I'd had the cash to do this earlier, I would've. It was my plan from the beginning. I just couldnt afford it.

Caramel does have a point though. Grad school (or another degree) is still a long way away for the both of us. We both cant imagine going back to school just yet. Since I've only been out of school for about six months (and Caramel getting out in May), we'll wait a while before going back to assignments and paper torture. Besides, we've both got student loans to pay back that stops us from applying again.

But when I really think about all the things I'd like to do before applying for school, I know that this is something I can truly and seriously consider again somewhere in 2015 or so.

Anyone interested in being my banker or standing as guarantor on the loan in 2015?

XD
