anyone ever do a career shift and go back to school full time?

trying to think about my career long term and if it's worth it

Yup. Talked about it a lot before I left here.

But beware people might pressure you into grad school

can i ask what led you to your career change?

do you think school was necessary for you to move into your new field?
did you take out loans for grad school?

For this field it depends how far you want to go. My position currently requires a BS/BA + some grad work. Everything I did prior did not need any degree. You can hold a certain title with just a bs but you're always supervised and make 60% what someone with a masters makes doing the same job

I wouldn't have fallen into it without returning to school. Profs/career center said it's just what a lot of students do and I set myself up well so it's working out at this point

You don't need school to be successful, I just feel like there's not enough jobs that pay well to be too picky if you don't want school/training but idk. My wife is a vet tech and it sucks. I used to be in trades but personally hated it, have numerous friends doing that and are well off though. Plus coding and stuff is possible

And yes I take out all I can then try to pay in enough to take extra classes. But I can't always do that

dope fam. seems like a smart move for you.

what field did u end up in if you don't mind me asking?

im f***ed

what happened?

You f***ed it bro

Do it brother you deserve happiness

Went back to school to get my masters at 26 now I’m 28 and work a cushy af fully remote job can’t complain

i'm just debating cause i just paid off student loans and i don't want to get into debt again so quickly lol

Been working in the cruises and resort’s division at my great uncles company for the past few months pretty uneventful

im 27 and im thinking of doing an honours year + getting a phd cuz the way im going rn isn't what i want

can u put in a word for me? think i can make atn better after tom's appointment

Yeah I could get a PhD in my field but f*** that tbh

Uhh man I don’t know about right now he’s pretty upset with me he’s been yelling at me a lot more than usual I’ll still ask tho

So I lied on a job application when asked whether I’ve used marijuana in the last two years, and was wondering how this could affect me in the future.

They never actually d*** test at my job been experimenting with coke I buy from this guy in the park

how did you get into marketing?

studying for CPA

Anyone here in the print industry (not designing, but the actual printing process)? Apparently there's a skill shortage and I've gotten approached by a couple places to be trained. It doesn't seem like a high cap wage wise but would be good to hold me over.

Printing what exactly?
