While my dream of obtaining a PhD by 30 will not come to pass, I can happily say that I will have started my PhD before I'm 30...exactly 7 days before I turn 30 in fact! March 2, 2009 I start my PhD in Education specialising in curriculum, instruction and assessment from Walden University. The courses are taken online with several residencies required at certain milestones. The program is such an amazing fit into my current position and for my goals down the road.
I AM SO INSANELY EXCITED!
It pays to wait until the right program is found. I've searched in vain for a program that leaped out, grabbed me by the shoulders and said "Here I am!"...until I found this one. Will this take a lot of work and sleepless nights? Oh my God yes. However, I believe that doing a program that inspires you is what keeps you going through the darker times of exhaustion and frustration in that will occur in any quality program.
