why would you assume this is a troll post? sure i have a bit of fun here and there, but this is serious. I was part of the Ed.S program leading to an Ed.D about a decade ago before calling it quits. I am thinking about starting it back up again.
 
Do it while you can at a young age and not regret it later in life.

Had an aunt finish her Education PhD in her 70s a few years back. My mother only finished up to her Masters before raising a family with 8 kids.

That sounds terrible....why take on all of that debt or spend all of that $$$$ in order to end up being a mom?

I rarely hear of phds who have to pay to go to school. most women become moms. paying for your phd would be tragic.

The thought of you being older than 17 sends shudders down my spine. Therefore, I will continue in my hopefully correct belief that you are 15, slightly less pimply than Trident, live at home with your parents, and masturbated a couple hours ago to your mom's Sears Home catalog.

Where did I say that she stopped in her career. Masters where way cheaper in the late '50s than today, she didn't incur any debt. It was paid for. 😛

Ah ok.....the way you worded it sounded like she went to school for her Masters and then stopped to raise 8 kids.
 
Why not stop your stupid habit of posting just about everything you are "thinking about", get OFF the forums and start doing something about the hole you put yourself in. If half of what you post is even remotely true then you are really in need of help.
