Education and the High Cost of Learning

I spent some serious time reviewing my graduate material tonight and was able to find a huge amount of pertinent information. While digging through the various links, I found course and assignment descriptions as well as the required and recommended textbooks. All I can say is WOW. I'm so looking forward to starting this program and putting what I learn to good use!

Unfortunately, while I was doing all this digging, I found out the textbooks are going to cost quite a bit. I think, since I know what I need in advance, I can spend some time looking for bargains and that makes me feel a little bit better. The one thing I didn't find was what my actual tuition costs will be. I can only imagine they will be horrifying.....sigh. I really hope to be able to pay out of pocket and will be juggling three jobs to try to make that happen, but I don't have a clue if that will work out. I did my part and emailed the Bursars Office and my advisor, so we'll see what happens!

In the meantime, I am keeping my fingers crossed for the Union Plus scholarships announcement in June. Maybe I should consider online fundraising =)

On the off chance someone looks at this blog and is actually interested in the program of study at UT, I am including a link below!
