| if i could go back, i would get a B.S. in electrical engineering and then go on to law school and study patent law. it's a boring subject but finding work is extremely easy and the money is obscene. major IT companies always need patent lawyers and will pay out the wazoo for their services. |

| I already have computer(certs) and psychology(BA) qualifications. Guess if I went back, I'd finish the last year of my useless 4-yr BBA and then move on to higher areas of experimental psyc with emphasis on neuropsyc and stats. If I were to do it all again, I'd do the BSc thing(which I have also already done a little on as well - I took a LONG time to graduate! also did some electronics eng tech crap) and maybe go on to try to become a better doctor than most of the moronic ones that I've met and dealt with in Canada. For now, I'm content with trying to improve my Korean language abilities and computer and teaching skills. |

And now that I'm thinking about it.
Maybe classics or film and theatre. |

I don't see myself going back again.. seems better to save money and invest in real estate.
But for the time being, I still have tons of student debt to worry about before even considering that one. |

Having just cleared off my student loans I am not in any hurry to resume them.
I have been toying around with going back for a masters but would prefer to find an online one to do. That way I could still work and study. |

I lived life in reverse.
After high school I worked at a good job for a few years and bought a house.
Now I rent out my house to students and am FINALLY going to University. Taking a Bcommerce and end up with an MBA...hopefully.
This is why I took a 6 month trip to Asia, before the pain of University.
Bring on the student loans!!! |

Damn.. thats THE way to do it!
It really seems like real estate is the best investment (even more priority than education) a person could make for themselves.
Plus you get time off to REALLY know what you'd want to study. When I was 18, I was clueless as what I would do in the future. |

| I think I'd mentioned this another thread about "druthers" but again get my Masters in Occupational Safety from RIT. That's my dream man! It's either that or medicine. $$$$$$$$$ |

| I am going for the GMAT this Friday. I will be trying to earn my MBA through Florida State University. I am excited. I definitely have enough time in South Korea to do it. |

I am slightly curious how hard the GRE is. I have been pondering doing a master's...however I would like to do it at an American university. The thing is that GRE worries me. I absolutely suck at math...and 1/2 that test is math.
Anyone taken it recently? |

| If I ever went to university it might be something to do with math, architecture or forensics. Or old Icelandic literature. |
