After 20 years out of school, I went back and finished my masters today. 5 years ago I never thought I'd do it and I finished it up today.

good for you 
my FiL just got his BA at 72 years old after promising his dad in the 1960s he would get a degree.
we're celebrating his graduation next week.

Congrats to you! Not many have the discipline to go back after that many years.

Question: why?
At 20 years into the work force, what does this get you? Is it just something you wanted to complete?

Or answer the question? Promotion? Pay increase? New job?
Don’t be a vagina. It’s a question.

In my case, I work for a public ed institution and my current role "prefers" a masters. Anything above me requires it.
So...I'm starting a Master of Public Admin this summer....
I've got 2 years between when my son graduates this summer and when my daughter will start college, so I'll pay for my own tuition in the meantime.

You will be admin in public school? If so, what grade level?
Posted on 5/1/25 at 8:19 pm to Gimme Vaughn
Congratulations !!!!
I graduated in 1998 and after retiring after 31yrs of working I will be going back for my masters in the near future.
Not that I have to but that I want my grandkids to see you never stop the grind and to prove to myself that I can still do whatever I put my mind to.

I'm in education. I've been coaching for over 20 years. Now I can get into administration if I want. Big pay bump in the education field going from teacher to administrator.

Completed mine in 2023 after being out of school for 25 years. It was a bucket list item for me. Congratulations! It is a huge accomplishment especially after being out of school for so long.
