[quote=Anonymous]We have one child left at home, who is going to HS.  I am very interested in going back to school for a graduate program.  I would start PT, but it is a long drive to campus and the program does require project work.  So figure one night a week with class followed by group meetings and probably a couple of Saturdays during the term.  Plus studying during the week, which I would try to do before work and on my lunch hour.  Couple of reasons I want to go back.  First, I am very interested in learning the material in the program.  Second, it is at a very good university and quite frankly, I would like a degree from this institution.  I did not have my act together when picking an undergrad school and at some level, have something I want to prove.

My wife says the #1 concern should be getting our child through the last few years of HS and that graduate school should wait.  I am not getting any younger and if the program is going to take me 2-3 years and I tack on the years of HS left, that is a long time before I would get the degree and use it in my career.

So what is your opinion?  What would you do if your husband wanted to do this?  What else should I consider in my decision-making process?  [/quote]
