It depends on you. I’ve seen a few who have gotten stuck because they went in with no clear plan and ** didn’t work much on developing one **.

I went in stupidly, without a clear plan except wanting a degree that wasn’t completed in the 1990s and wanting to redirect/reboot my career. The only thing I was clear on is that I wanted to spend as little time as possible on it because I’m already mid-50s.

I’m old enough to be organized and driven. I found a topic and am blasting through it. Also ensuring my advisor is on board with my planned graduation date.

I’m on track to finish this fall, having started Fall 2020.

Dumb enough to get it, smart enough to get out.
