i was talking to my friend paola yesterday about earning a master’s degree. since we work fulltime, the only option is to have it from the internet. from accredited schools of course. so here i was surfing the net earlier trying to find all these info for distance learning. i was looking for info on MBA. well, university of london is one of the best (as i’ve read), but man, the fees are like really out of this world (at least for me). i also considered university of leicester (the fees are quite alright at USD15,000 a year). i also sent a request for info from univ of phoenix and less than an hour later a lady called me. weird though coz its like already late at night there. anyway, she gave me a lot of useful info. the whole course can be finished within 1 and a half years if you do not take any breaks. and the cost of the whole program is USD 24,000. goodness!
anyway, she explained that each course takes about 6 weeks with 3 units each. and you have to pay USD2,000 for each course.. at the rate im going, i m guessing i can only get 3 courses a year and would be finish within four years. i would actually call myself impatient, but i think its too long.
my other option is the university of sydney which offers Project Management Graduate Program. the fees are a bit lower at USD10,000 per year. i really still have no idea how long it takes to get the degree though. i am really serious about this. im not getting any younger and i know my only way to go up the ladder will be to get a master’s degree. god help me. i need to weigh all my options. i can already feel my brain processing all information at once. i have to think this through very carefully. i also have commitment issues. i tend to get sidetracked. well, this involves a lot of moolah so i guess that is one way to get me on track. but still, can i afford it?
