Yesterday, I was interviewed for an article about literacy programs in the city of Chicago for a magazine called The Reader. A woman in my fiction class was contacted by the reporter and she suggested that I give him a call as well. It was fun - he asked me about my reasons for choosing DePaul, what I thought of the program, my goals after graduation, etc. The issue will hit newsstands on June 4th.
Because I work in PR, I'm usually the one asking the questions, so this was a nice change of pace. The interview also got me thinking more about what I want to do once my time at DePaul is over. I assumed that I would just start looking for a different job closer to Chicago, but I also know that I want to earn an MFA in Creative Writing. Would it be wrong of me to enroll in another graduate program before paying off loans for my first two degrees?
I love school. I love learning new things. And I love being around people with whom I share this one common interest: we have something to say.
It's not wrong to do what you really want to do.

Good for you Bree, I'll be waiting for the issue on the 4th, can't wait to get a gander at it!! And its not wrong to enroll in another grad program before you've started paying off the first two, its pretty much up to you, if you want to have more on you at the end of all your degrees or to pay each degree off first before acquiring another one. Personally, I rather get all my degrees and then pay them off when I'm done!
