Question for US folks. After you get your 1st degree is there any governent help for MA's and PHD's ?
Or is like here in the UK, the assumpation is you'll get such a high paying job with your degree in surfboarding at Butlins you can afford to pay the 8-10K per year fees.
Roughly 1-2 years for an MA. time for a PHD varies dependant on subject With some courses teaching is expected. The assumpation being that with an MA you have to add something new to the sum of human knowledge and with a PHD pass that on.
Which raises a good point, why not look at getting a basic teaching cert?
Fully funded and with some nice golden handshakes to get people on the courses. Many uni's also like people with life experience rather just academic stuff.
