  • I’d start budgeting my time, now. What do I have to give up, to make sure I have research time at the end of the day?

    Budget money, as well. I would want to know how my day-to-day costs will change when I’m in school several hours a week.

    Getting into the mindset of learning rather than doing will be a huge shift, so you could practice your study skills by researching the universities and their programs for an hour every day without interruption - make sure you can sit down and read for a full hour.

    Once you pick a program, use social media to ask around. You might know someone who goes there, maybe they could introduce you to the faculty?

















  • if a work buddy overhears you tell an off-color joke, they might report you to management if the company has a zero-tolerance policy to protect themselves. they don’t want someone else to report and include them in the list of participants. you’d feel betrayed; how could you tell our boss about the joke I told? because you’re expecting them to do what a friend would, and cover for you. but they are trying to protect their job. that’s why I’d recommend not regarding them as friends, but more like comrades in arms or something.
