I am always on the lookout for new ideas on what I should do once I get my undergrad degrees. I really need to make some money (though my husband, through words or actions, never makes me feel bad or guilty for not bringing much money into the household I do feel bad/guilty and I am getting tired of feeling this way) so part of me would like to find a halfway decent full-time job to work for a year or more. I just hate the thought of putting off grad school – I ain’t getting any younger. So another part of me really wants to make a push to get in either a Masters or a Doctoral program right away. I am just not sure I am up for it – it is going to take a lot of work to get in. Yikes! Just thinking about it makes me want to faint or something. Just determining exactly what I want to do, which program to pursue is driving me nuts.
Well today I found out about an online Masters program in Industrial/Organizational Psychology I might be interested in. It would be fairly easy to get in and only take 21 months to complete. My new scheme is to work full-time while working on my Masters in I/O Psychology (which the BLS says they are in demand at the Masters level) and then once I get that and save some money I can go for my PhD or PsyD. Aha!! That might be a workable plan. I must do more research.
