I'm really lucky with my recession-proof job. There are federal laws that require districts to have school psychologists, and there are never enough of us to fill all the positions.You have nice gig, distant. You get summers off too, right?
Only problem is that if I ever want to get out of the profession, I don't know how helpful my Masters will be in getting another job.

Most of my friends who teach do the same thing--teaching summer school.I'm really lucky with my recession-proof job.

I work a longer year than teachers, but yeah, I get two months off in the summer.
Unfortunately, I always sign up for summer Birth to Three preschool evaluations for the extra pay.

America needs more Engineers. If this recession ends with China and India pulling ahead and the subsequent brain drain from the states that will entail, we're fucked for a long time.

Nah, we can always bail our selves out of it. :smug
I take my choice back. I want to be a bail-out engineer. :smug
Do you conciously start arguements with everybody, or are you just that stupid? :smug

Truth is eventually I'd hate whatever I was studying. I'm an unpleasant individual.
probably would go get a masters in actuarial science, which is something that I'd like to do through work anyway but it's just an inch too far from a career change. maybe after 2g2d passes I'll give it a go.
I like the idea of studying economics but I feel like I'd never find a job if I took that approach.:'(
^^If I had the time to get a second degree, first I'd go back and get my first degree. I dropped out of college after three years of it and no two-year degree. School really isn't for me. :-\
I won't lie - the job I have has sorta desensitized me on the whole graduate and get a job thing. I feel more like I'm getting a degree as a backup plan than as something for the future. I wish I had that sense of urgency and that thirst for career-building knowledge. I get good grades, but I never feel motivated. My favorite classes thus far have been political, philosophical, and economic. Unfortunately, that's like going to school for art. I'm too paranoid about obtaining a useless degree that I instead pursue a passionless career. I tell myself it'll be better once I'm in the field, but I don't know if that's true.
But if I quit school, I'd feel like I was doomed to be stuck here forever. So I go, and I go through the motions.
Anything would be better than accounting
Hm, psychiatry

I like how the most fucked up people always choose psychiatry.
