Grad School, Here I Come!

It's always been my plan to attend grad school, and up till this semester, I was pretty sure it would be to continue to my history PhD.  However, there are a few wrenches in that plan.  First, I have two very young children.  Second, I really need to be in a better financial position, being that I don't want to spend the next ten years paying off student loans.  And third, I'd like to try my hand at administration.  I think it may actually be more to my liking than I originally thought.  So, with all this in mind, and the fact that my alma mater offers a decent Masters in Education degree (most of it online), I made the plunge and applied for grad school.  If all goes according to plan, I will start next fall.  I'm pretty excited about this next step.  At the very least, it will give me a new appreciation for my bosses and a master's degree, which means a pay raise.  And even if I'm unable to find a job right off, teachers are supposed to be lifelong learners themselves, so expanding my knowledge on the education system can only help. So, look for updates in the future.  My plans are to get this degree, work for a bit, and once the kiddos are older, go back for my PhD in history, with the idea that I may have more time to commit in the future.
