Need your opinions!!

I am in a quandry...I want to go back to school. I have my Bachelors Degree and currently work part time (I enjoy it). I have 2 options that I'm thinking about:
**Go to Massage Therapy school for approx. 9-12 months. This will most likely also be part time work when I graduate. The class schedule is very flexible. Cost is approx. $4000.
**Go to graduate school. The program I would enroll in is Masters in Adult Education(work for nonprofit, teach community college,training,etc). The classes are in the evening, cost is of course more than $4000 but the earning potential is more than in massage therapy. This will take me probably 4 years.

What would you do? I'd like to get someone else's take on this. Thanks!

Girl, you gotta do what makes you happy! Which one would you really love to do? Don't worry about the money. If the job s u c k s, you'll be miserable!

I agree that you need to decide on which job in the end of school would you enjoy more? There's a big difference in both jobs, so maybe thinking of it that way will help.

Good luck!!!!!!

Have you ever heard of the verse, do what you love, the money will follow? It is true, do what you love, and if it doesn't work out you still have the other option, right? Goodluck in whatever you decide....:)

I've been a massage therapist for over 12 years. Anything in particular that you would like to know?? My opinions on your question could fill pages, lots of pros, cons, recommendations etc.......

I agree with Chris... do what you love! Good luck!! Keep us posted on which one you chose.

You really need to go with you heart on this one. When I was going through the same dilemma, I made a pros and cons list of each. My answer was very clear then.

What do you want to spend the rest of your life doing? Do you enjoy school? Me, I could be a full time student for the rest of my life if that were an option! I love it.
