[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re paying full freight for grad school, you’re doing it wrong. The only people who might do this are MBA students, law students or med students.[/quote] This. Figure out how to get funding for it - whether it's a work-sponsored program and he goes part time while working full time, or is awarded a TA or RA position, or whatever. I got grad school paid for because I figured out that my program generally awarded TA/RA funding (which covered tuition, health insurance, and a modest stipend) to the students with the highest GPAs. I made sure to get top grades and get to know the professor who coordinated the assignments. With a few exceptions, it's better to be a big fish in a great but not top tier program and graduate without loans. Also, I worked two jobs in addition to my RA position to pay the bills. It was a lot but I was young. [/quote]
