Im strongly considering going back to school. I currently have a BS in business management which I do not use. I work in the semi-conductor fabrication field as a factory worker making about 55-60k a year depending on bonus's. I have some GI bill money left and my employer would also pay for me to go back to school as long as it relates to some sort of business. I.E I could go for finance, marketing, engineering, basically any field in which we employee people, but nothing like real estate or nursing. My big problem is that so many different fields are interesting to me. I can never decide what field I would like to end up in. I enjoy all aspects of the business enviroment from design and marketing to the actual fabrication and quality control. However let me give you a run down of my current situation. Im married, 30 with 1 kid. I work 7 oput of 14 days 12 hour shifts. I take usuallty 2 4 hour breaks where I play pool, work out, dominos, basically its like hanging out with my buddies instead of working. So why do I want to quit? I would like to move back to California and be close to my family and trained semi-conductor tool operators are in small demand there. Any ideas? |

Do an MBA or a PMST. I'm 3/4 of the way done in my PSMT program. The great thing about the degree is that it's relatively new and the potential of the degree hasn't been shown yet. So with confidence, a plan, and the ability to sell yourself you get to write your own ticket. This is partially why I opted for the PMST instead of an MBA. The MBA is also more credits = more expensive and it takes longer. Not all Universities have a PMST program running. There is a handful out there and more are adding the program to their schools yearly. The PMST program has been seeing a lot of success. |
"would like to move back to Kalifornia..."?? Any money spent on school would probably better be spent on psychotheraphy!  On a more serious note, at some point, you're going to have to make a decision and stick with it. Try to figure out, among the things in which you're interested, the one area that not only interests you most, but which offers the best work environment, pay, and lifestyle. |
