Yeah. I put mine on hold while MrsWx goes back to school. That being said I don't know if I will go back. I have had some career discussions where it came up and basically the consensus was you don't need it now or even one level above where I am but above that I would. I don't know if I want that high due to time commitment and all the other crap that goes with being a director.
ok, I couldn't remember if you had paused or not. It sounds like I would basically need one for next level - which I am definitely interested in moving to. My manager has been encouraging in that they did a master's with young kids 25 years ago..............but they also had a spouse working different hours not quite full-time. DH is definitely full time and we're probably 5-8 years from where manager was in kid age. They were past baby but before school activities. The other thing is it seems they generally take 2-3 years, plus application timeline so probably 3/4 years before I'd be done if I started now. Nothing is ever certain, but if we decided to have another child.......how in the hell does that work.
