While it may be a "load", getting an entry level job in the field of interest, or some field that has similar duties and responsibilities, while earning that degree would go a long way toward finding a better job in that field once the degree is in hand. Except for some of the technical fields, a degree doesn't compare to experience to most employers. I earned my AA, BA, and MA all while working full time, and had a 4.0 GPA all through college, but when I got laid off due to the recession back in '08, no one cared about my degree no matter what job I sought. Experience was all that mattered to most, and at my age, I didn't really want to continue in construction or machining (where I had experience), which is why I got a degree in organizational management in the first place. I ended up settling for part time work teaching, and I would not have needed my degree for the jobs I took.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369138557977907215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-65172327238672639012016-12-22T00:46:17.489-06:002016-12-22T00:46:17.489-06:00Really???Really???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-13838678669420137262016-12-21T18:08:29.627-06:002016-12-21T18:08:29.627-06:00Thank you, Marine.
