Wish me luck... I just applied

to grad school!!!! It's a program at Eastern Michigan University for a masters in Integrated Marketing Communications. I've been thinking about working on my masters at night for a while, and I think this is the best program I'm going to be able to do without quitting work, and without moving cross-country. It'll be mostly online too which is convenient.

I'm really really nervous about it, it's going to be a lot of work, and I'm scared about getting loans, and being in debt (I have no debt from my undergrad) but I feel like it will open me up to a whole new level of income and opportunities if i can do it.

I'm mostly worried about the money if I do get in. I'll probably need a new car soon, and FI is still in school too. But as long as I have my job we should be ok... right?

Good luck, I'm sure you'll get in!  Did you check to see if your work will help cover some of the costs?  Sometimes they will if the classes you take are work related.  Hopefully you get in-state tuition, that is definitely a big help.  My U of M tuition is covered by my GSRA stipend... thank goodness as out of state tuition is like $36k a year!

Good Luck Bre! It'll be rough but it will be worth it in the end. I'm also scared about loan debt since I don't have debt from my undergrad either, but everyone else has school loans to pay so we're not alone! Keep us updated

I went through grad school while working full time...and its can be challenging...but its only a short period of time in your life, and its so worth it in the end.

Keep us all posted!
