So most of you know I’m on Dave Ramsey’s “get out of debt” plan.  His theory is, if you don’t owe any debt you can do the 3 things money was meant for: spending, saving and giving (not necessarily in that order).  So, I’m at a place in life where I’m thinking I should be taking classes towards a degree — but I’m not too sure on the who what when’s.  I found out yesterday that the faculty and staff scholarship at UNT pays more than I thought.  Normal graduate tuition is about $290 per credit hour which would be $10,440 for a 36 hour degree.  I was under the impression the scholarship would cover about $3,000 of that leaving about $7,000 — a steal for a Master’s degree.  The scholarship actually pays for everything except for state tuition which is only $100 per credit hour meaning I could get my Master’s degree for the low low price of $3,600!  I could pay for that out of pocket!  If only I had known this last semester before I spent that much on only 2 classes at Regent…

I’ve still got my eye on the Master of Journalism (MJ) degree program.  I’ll keep you posted.
