[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not  a  career to spend that amount  of time and money in with a the promise of a doctorate. It won't afford you any more in the way of $$- just a couple of thousand. Want to teach college? Ok- You can do that as a adjunct with experience and a masters, but  not much $$ there either. Want to be a professor full time?OK- but.. VERY low salary, limited tenure potential, and you will be competing with  a billion adjuncts which are preferable to colleges now in order to keep costs down.

If you are into grad school just because you love the abuse, get a variety of certifications in different things that might generalize into a variety of jobs in or out of education. ( Technology, a language, etc..) In doing so, you will meet recertification requirements, get it paid for it if you are in a public school, and it will give you the most bang for your buck. But.. a doctorate in education...a waste of time. Unless it is just vanity- maybe you want to be called Dr. Larla/Larlo Smith.  :roll: [/quote]

+1. I have a MAT. Masters +30 status in MCPS. [/quote]
