grad school

I'm still dithering about which way to go on grad school. I'm starting to lean more towards going ahead and going for my masters in english. While it may sound like the less wise path than going the MBA/INSY route I'm not so sure. Truth of the matter is that while I enjoy the information system classes I really don't like the business classes that much. I honestly think I'd enjoy the english masters much more. As for future employability with an english masters, it's not really as bad as one might think. There are a lot of things I could use it for later in case I'm not successful in following the goal of teaching.

Still thinking... considering...

I *minored* in English for my undergrad degree 'cause I didn't want to take all the "boring" courses (e.g., rhetoric). Got to take courses like Gender in Sci Fi (Tim Morris, prof). Technology will probably be where the money is, however, esp. if you lean towards network/homeland security.

I have several English PhDs in my consulting network. They teach for the benefits but need my network to supplement their incomes.

2 cents :)
