First, let me qualify this by saying if you are HAPPY in your job, success will usually follow. Looking back on things though I wish I had given more thought to the future and ALL that implies...
GO FOR THE BUCKS! If you are going to spend X number of years
seeking an education, you may want to consider how "bright" that future really is. It's wonderful to work and find "fulfillment"
in what you do, but when the kids come and the financial responsibilities kick in you may not feel very "fulfilled" when your paycheck doesn't reflect the amount of education you have received and others are able to have less economic stress in their lives. I am fortunate in that Hubby is in a great professon and I can work with him, but if I had been divorced or widowed, I would be struggling to make ends meet and give my children the education they need to achieve their own success. As a woman Newbie, you need to be prepared for the possibility of being on your own and perhaps raising children. This is something I have drummed into my daughter's head since she was tiny. Just a thought to share.
