Background Information
What about Law School? What is the process/amount of time required for this?
I know there are many avenues you can pursue career wise with a law degree, but other than a trial lawyer, I haven't heard much about them.
Wow, where does one start? Hoping Goldfish can chime in.
Contract law is a huge field. Corporate legal counsel. Financial institutions that run trusts and such need legal advice. Suggest you write to your local bar association for more info in the different fields that Lawyers work in.
Is the financial aid much better? I've heard the United States' Government gives more to Grad students than Undergrad.
As far as hiring, if you want to be hired by the government for more money, having a masters gets you started at a higher pay level, often, than not. Financial aid packages vary a great deal, depending on program. Suggest you start your search at the Department of Education web site. the .gov one.
*What higher degrees do you hold? Would you change anything about them, if you could?*Couldn't help asking. My friend's call me whiskers, because I'm as curious as a cat
2 Masters of Arts, or, as I like to call them, two Masters in Baiting. Years ago, passed up the chance to go to Navy Post Graduate School and get a Masters in Systems Engineering due to a variety of reasons, have alays wondered if I missed a great opportunity. Life has worked out well enough since then, I suppose, since the choice I made ended up creating the conditions under which I met my wife. :D
The course work and papers written, and the reading, and the research, were what gave me value. Did both courses while otherwise employed, the time management drill was quite enlightening.
Am starting work on Education certification, which will probably evolve over time into a Masters in Education or Science, hard to say at this point, all with the aim of corrupting, sorry, developing young minds! :rolleyes:
As they say at Faber College, Knowledge is Good. If you can swing the dough, or get a fellowship, or some financial support, I'd strongly recommend furthering your education. If you want to be a professor, just make sure you are passionate about your subject. That way, your life's love will be your work, and you won't really be "working." :)
