Well as my time in college gaining my bachelor degree comes to an end I have a lot of choices to make. I am ready to not be broke and get back into the job market again. I have a few offers out in Texas thanks to some friends who have helped me out, yet I can’t help but feel torn. I took the GRE last summer because I was considering Grad school; I did very well on it scoring 1580 out of 1600. Well I applied to several universities I was interested in for their graduate programs. I have heard back from two of these schools I applied to; Auburn and Oklahoma University. While I didn’t hear from the University of Indiana these two are very good universities with strong History of Science programs. Oklahoma accepted me and waived my out of state fees but due to my GPA not being competitive at 3.42 I won’t get a teaching assistant; Auburn on the other hand waived out of state fees offered me an adjunct teaching position with a stipend of $700 per month.

That makes going to grad school affordable in many ways. So I’m torn between starting a career and paying bills off from my wreck and college expenses that have built up; or going to grad school and earning my PHD. I eventually will go back to college to get my PHD, I’m just tired of being broke and having to manage my money to the very last penny to make sure I can eat and pay my bills. I’ve made my decision to go to Texas and work, I will regret my decision till I do complete my degree to the level I desire. I’ve just reached the point in life where I want to settle down some and start looking at maybe having a family in the future. It is just very difficult to postpone my dreams.
