I have changed jobs a few times. I have found that while it is always best to look out for one's best interests, maintaining a good relationship with past employers can reap rewards later. On-the-job performance speaks the loudest, and it sounds like you have that in your favor. Good luck!SChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09111973902921350621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37476114.post-21818181980711170192008-04-25T11:56:00.000-04:002008-04-25T11:56:00.000-04:00You have such a great attitude about all of this. ...You have such a great attitude about all of this. I'm going to try and adopt it. I know how it feels to sort of be in limbo. I was laid off from a publishing company in Orlando not too long ago, and am temping my way through the transition until I find something I want. It's hard to be like, "Why?", but in the end, I'm making more money here, helping me beef our emergency fund back up after we used most of it to pay our bills while I didn't have this temp job. Things will work out, you've got a lot going for you!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02854963897578905373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37476114.post-58024978116683818252008-04-25T00:51:00.000-04:002008-04-25T00:51:00.000-04:00The obvious grad school exceptions are professiona...The obvious grad school exceptions are professional degrees, which can include many master's degrees. You do pay to go to law school, medical school, or to get your MBA (well, somebody's paying for it, though often it's your place of employment), but anybody who pays for a PhD is doing it wrong.Andrew Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13453328821252013152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37476114.post-54160833342346134872008-04-24T16:34:00.000-04:002008-04-24T16:34:00.000-04:00stackingpennies, it's really more about the degree...<B>stackingpennies</B>, it's really more about the degree than the field--it's not uncommon to pay for a Master's (and pay out the nose for an MFA), but you shouldn't ever have to pay for a PhD.

The most important thing I heard though is that when you are accepted to a school you can negotiate with them. It is, in fact, the ONLY time you will be able to do that, so take major advantage of it. If you really want to go to one school that accepted you but they aren't offering enough money right away go to the head of graduate admissions and say "Hey, I want to go hear but I need $4,000 more a year to live here comfortably." I know that sounds really weird, to not just be super thankful to get in, but you will have many years ahead of you with essentially no choices. So take advantage of this one while you can. Best of luck with your decisions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04106666010726188968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37476114.post-17284646934084498622008-04-23T22:32:00.000-04:002008-04-23T22:32:00.000-04:00You can apply to grad school, but only go if/where...You can apply to grad school, but only go if/where you are fully funded. When I was applying I was told "you don't pay for grad school." You teach/research/"fellowship" your way through it. A little cushion is nice, though. I work part-time so I don't have live quite as paycheck-to-paycheck as I would otherwise.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11068916994258628514noreply@blogger.com
