[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you are really set on getting a master's, there can be inexpensive ways to do it. When I got my master's, I got a job at the university I attended and got tuition benefits after three months. Made getting a degree very affordable. Would your husband be more on board if you were working too and/or found a cheaper option to get your degree?[/quote]

That has been suggested multiple times, but OP is very set on doing her expensive 3 year program so she can say she went to X school.[/quote]

Or so that she'll have connections from X school and have X school on her resume, which will help in her job search. Would you rather higher someone with a degree from Georgetown or Strayer? [/quote]b

You know, it really depends on the field. My much younger SIL has a master's in IR from Georgetown and has been trying to get a toehold in anything related in that field and has done nothing but unpaid internships and temp gigs in five years. My in laws are still paying her rent. Everyone in the family feels bad because we see how hard she is trying. But despite a series of (what appears to me) pretty prestigious internships and temp assignments, none have resulted in a permanent paying position. She says it is just super super competitive and hard to stand out if you are not a "star."[/quote]
