I dropped out of school
Permalink Closed

I just dropped my class for the spring semester that I was supposed to start on Monday.  I have been taking classes toward my Master in Publishing degree for the past year and a half and I decided to postpone it indefinitely.  See, my company is paying for it and I am worried that I will not be at the company in May (god, I better not be) to get my reimbursement and then I will lose my $3000.  Plus, I'm not even sure if I am staying in the publishing industry.  I figure if I do get a job in my company, I can always pick classes back up again in the summer and fall.  I feel depressed about it though.  I don't really know why.  I guess because it kind of signifies me giving up my publishing career.  Also, I have a 3.75 GPA.


I have an interview for an Assistant Paralegal position next Thursday and they asked for a writing sample so I was going through my papers from class and it made me feel bad about it all over again.

Cheer up A.J. I still kinda feel bad about not going to grad school at all. I was all set to go to Florida State and then I got a promotion and whoops I end up in CT. I'm looking @ my career path and now the master's thing might not be what I need to get ahead of the game.So you made the right decision, because it is in fact your decision and nobody elses, you're looking at what lies ahead, and that's what you should be doing. Don't sweat it. It's not like tomorrow all grad programs seist to exist!

Andrea Julia:  I too am a graduate school drop out.  I hope you are ok.  It was a very hard decision for me and my parents really gave me a hard time .....BUT, after a sorta career change now I have a GREAT job, that I love!  And its near the beach!  So, I am sure you did the right thing for you and I wish you luck in your new graduate school-free life!!!


And, I DO love my job even though it is 7:58 and I am still at work!
