[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - Unfortunately, the school I am interested in doesn't have graduate tuition grants for employees unless you work at the Director level (shucks!). Next up, I will explore the graduate research/teacher assistant option. I went to undergraduate school in the Midwest, so that's an option. I really don't expect that I would be able to work full time and pursue graduate school since my soon to be ex H and I live in different states now. I wouldn't have help caring for our children.

I don't mind being the oldest in a program, lots of people still think I'm a college student anyway  :wink:

You will be working almost full time as a GTA. They say it is around 20 hours but it is often more. But much of it can be done from home. I only had to be in my office for office hours and teach my classes. Outside of classes, you have to do a ton of research for assignments and for publications with professors. Professor really don't do much, their grad student do it!! Graduate school is fun but  it is a lot of work.[/quote]
