Marylhurst MBA, Debt & Me

This is a hard post to write because I’m admitting I’ve given up on something, that something is my goal of earning an MBA in Sustainability from Marylhurst. At lot of thought went into my decision, my only wish is that I had made it sooner. I’m not disappointed that I enrolled because I think the program is great, the students seem to be really sharp and the campus has its own cemetery. Really, the school has all the ingredients for a superb learning experience. I just couldn’t handle the debt – well, more specifically I couldn’t handle the thought of all the debt. If this past year has taught me anything is that there are no guarantees and I just didn’t feel comfortable with where I am at professionally to assume that level of financial commitment. So, now what? I still believe in the value of education but perhaps my route is through short, less expensive certification types of programs that I can pay as I go.  But if you are looking for a super, online program in sustainability I still recommend you check out Marylhurst.
