Think about it, Jodi. I know you're terrific, but how long can you stay in this business? You need something with a future, and that pretty much means degrees, licenses, or a trade. This day and age we don't have much choice. I got my advanced degrees in my 40s and 50s (while raising three kids and holding down 2 jobs), and those qualifications are the only reason I am managing now (still in my 50s!). It's never easy, but you just have to do what you have to do. If you get the right mind-set it really isn't that big of a deal. Every school is kind of messed up - no way around that. I have to think you can make pretty good money now, and school probably gets in the way of that. But how long will it continue, or will you want it to continue?
