I completed 24 of the 45 credits required for my masters in clinical psychology and then became pregnant with my daughter. I was unable to finish, but it would have taken me another 2 years.
1. I took 6 credits (2 classes) per semester while working full time. In Spring and Summer, I only took 3 credits each semester.
2. I worked for 3 years before going back to grad school.
3. I had not decided what to do about doctoral work but didn't really think I would go back for it because, the way most clinical psych programs work, you have to do a combined masters/PhD program at the university where you're pursuing your PhD, so I would have had to repeat the masters level work.
4. None. I had tuition reimbursement through work.
Since I totally changed careers 7 years after that, I don't feel badly about not finishing, but at the time that I got pregnant, I was devastated.
