...education

So the other day I realized that I have 2 semesters left... and then what? Do I decide to go out and work and all that grand stuff or do I go and get my Masters in Architecture? There will obviously need to be more thought put into this problem before I can decide what to do. First, the economy is really against me going out and getting a job right after school. Currently it is tough enough just to get a summer job. Many of my friends in studio are having a difficult time getting a job. It may be a summer of sitting around and wishing/hoping for a job. I guess I'm lucky enough to have a job to go back to from last summer. What if I decide to go back to school for my masters? Well, that's all great but my parents won't be helping me with this and if I don't have a job, I can't afford to go to school, so this puts me in a tough situation.... Do I borrow a chunk of change and then hope to pay it off with some sort of high paying job that I won't be able to get? Oh geez, things do NOT look promising in the future. Well that's all for now. It's class time :)

    Alot of Masters programs have assistantships and paid tuition scholarships. They WANT you to get their degree (often so that they can employ you to do other things - such as teach or work labs - cheap). There are also these cool things called student loans . . . Look into it BEFORE you write it off! You might be surprised at how doable it is. If architecture is like any other field, it's better to have a higher degree. And, yes, employment possibilities likely suck right now. And, personally, I think more school is never enough school. Keep feeding your brain. Always. :)
