The Waiting Room

Thanks everyone for telling me what I know deep down. The person who made that comment does have deep issues. She spends a lot of time bitching about her life and how difficult it is. She is just one really unhappy person.

And, I am cool with my JD status. My background is very rich. I can teach in many different areas and have a great wealth of knowledge. That can be a huge benefit for some institutions.

Also, I was looking at jobs on line and there are a couple of portions out there at the undergraduate level that specifically request that the person have a JD. (Hey Astroprof. What do you know about San Angelo?)

And most importantly, I looked at the cost of pursuing a PhD. If I were to go through an on line university, we're talking $40,000.00. If I were to attend Big Ass University in Lake Effect Snow Central, it would cost about $35,000.00.

I don't need to be a mathematician to figure that one out. I mean if I had $40K drop out of the sky and could use it for whatever I wanted, somehow getting a PhD would not be on the list.

I think I am just going to focus on making the best impression and impact I can at College. Perhaps persistence will pay off.

But for now, it's cool.
