Things I think about

I think it would be nice to have a Master's Degree in something.  As writing is what I keep trying to do, an MFA in creative writing could be a good choice.  If it didn't cost $25,000. 

If I had my education to do over again, I'd take lots of classes in Earth Science, get a degree in meteorology or climatology or both. 

Not that any of that is either here or there.

You could still get a Master's, especially if you did it locally. :-) And (at PSU, at least) for any terms that you could get work as a graduate assistant, tuition would be free.

Yes, if I'm really determined to do it, I'll get creative and come up with a variety of options. One program that appeals to me is the low-residency MFA through Pacific University, which is nearby but doesn't allow for a lot of work opportunities. And one of the reasons more education appeals to me is because, despite all these things I claim to want to do, I lack the discipline, and I'd really like to develop it. But I'm having trouble justifying a large price tag for discipline alone. I'd like to find another way.
