Should I get a master’s degree?
Well, as someone who has a paper due and discussion board posts due in the next 24 hours, it may be the wrong time to ask me this question...🤪
Kidding! But in all seriousness, this is a common question that you may ask yourself at some point in your career or you may be thinking about it now.
In this episode, I'll share my experiences starting a master's degree (learn from my mistakes!) and share some ideas on what areas to consider before starting. I love my master's program and am happy to share any guidance on this, because it's a BIG decision.
