Should You Go Back to School? Leslie Madsen Brooks Shares Her Thought Process

Monday January 5, 2009
This morning I found a wonderful blog by Leslie Madsen Brooks exploring whether or not now is a good time to go back to school. With the economy the way it is, many people are thinking about what they'll do if their own job evaporates. A graduate degree or professional certificate can help you land your next gig. But is going back to school a good idea?

Check out Leslie's thought process. For her newspaper-industry husband, it's probably not. But a Ph.D. in the right field, maybe.

What do you think? Should you go back to school? Share your story with us. Right here or in the forum.
