This is my personal experience, so take it for what it's worth. I went to uni for years and majored in almost everything. Writing, radio, psychology - you name it. I left after my third year to work. I din't have the money to continue. I wish I had. I'd probably have an easier time getting a better job if I had that last year. I want to go back to school for exercise science and it'd be much easier if I hadn't left for just a year. That one year lasted *looks at watch* 18 years or so. So, as I said, that was my experience. You need to do what's right for you.
I need some advice:
I've been toying with this for a good year now. I have my undergrad bachelor's degree in political science. I was supposed to go back to school this year for a 4th year. Thing is, I'm wanting to not go back. I don't need to since the 4th year of poli sci is basically qualifying courses for a masters program which I know I'm not going for. There are a lot of great job opportunities out there right now in my field, specifically one job I'm applying for with the Red Cross (I know someone that works there that will help me get in).
I just have so much pressure from my family to go for the fourth year. It's just so much money (another 6000 dollars on top of the 20,000 I owe right now in student loans).
Would it be such a bad thing if I worked for a year and see where that takes me? I need to pay down my loans and I already have my bachelor's degree.
I've done a lot of research for the jobs that I'd want and I have the qualifications to get them (my university degree, plus experience with charities, I volunteered for World Vision for a long time, plus I also now have experience working for my university planning huge events with the job I have now).
