Conference Call - Fielding Institute

This afternoon I spent one hour and fifteen minutes on a conference call with this institution.  The topic of discussion was the PhD. in Clinical Psychology.  It would take anywhere from 4-7 years to obtain this degree ... at a cost of $21,300 a year ... plus travel, books, fees, and orientation.

I don't doubt that I can get into the program.  

And, I don't doubt that I would do well and complete it.

HOWEVER, a main consideration in whether to "leap off this cliff" ... 

is of course -  finances.  

Like, where am I going to get that kind of money. ($100,000+)

So, I am also considering upgrading my current degree 

to meet state licensure requirements.

I'll go talk to a counselor at my local university about this tomorrow.

Did you know that college credits and degrees are "perishable"?

That's what a counselor told me one day ...
