  • Night School

    Night School

    By Andrea Menzies

    I had to be on the phone on hold for what felt like one million years for night school today. At long last I was able to fully transfer and enroll in a new online night school for a master’s degree. I had to verify student loans over the phone. After a while it reminded me of a surreal video game like the jokes below.

    Every phone number in the modern day is like an epic quest.
    But sometimes change is worth the hassle.
  • Secret Price

    Secret Price

    By Andrea Menzies

    I am applying to do an online master’s degree in education.  Yet many schools are completely telling lies about the price of their program with tuition and fees. I have had to discontinue many applications and programs as they suddenly admit the price will be at least twice the amount listed on advertising. They have an advertisement price, and a secret price they really charge. Thank goodness someone passed laws saying they have to disclose the information. My undergraduate degree was from a super expensive school, and the government limits maximum amounts of lifetime student loans. What is a good affordable program?

    Scary events are happening to education right as my studies are going well with it. I am starting to think another pandemic will close all the schools.

  • First Month Phoenix

    First Month Phoenix

    By Andrea Menzies

    I made all A grades in my first month as a University of Phoenix Master’s Degree student in the Masters of Education program. I have been planning on enrolling for years, but my student loans were blocked. Also it is intimidating going to school as an adult, and juggling my teaching day job with night school. This is why I went to online school as it is organized well for working adults. Thankfully, the conflict is resolved and school is going well this month. I enjoy having real challenges for the year.

    P.S. : There will be no podcast this week due to massive homework exhaustion. The final exam all nighters have been epic.
