I have a bit of a dilemma.
In 2008 I plan to take my masters to advance my career.
At the moment I'm not sure whether to take a full year out from full employment and do the course in 1 straight year or stay working and do a part time course.
The problem with doing it full time is that it may take quite a while finding another job afterwards
The problem with part time is that if I decide to move jobs, other employers will not be as willing to give me time off to study reduce working hours etc. Not only this theres the added challenge of fitting assignments, reading and classes in between working hours
What do you think?

I'm in the process of doing an MA. I did it straight after my BA. It is a demanding course, however, there are others on my course whom work full/part-time as well as doing the Master's. They do find it tough juggling all the readings, essays etc but they manage.
It all depends on what you feel you can handle.

I'm in the latter stages of completing an MA part time. It requires more self discipline to do it part time and can get tiring from an inactivity perspective dependent on the course. I would have preferred full time so I could focus and just knock it out but on advice from some older heads who know the game they made me think about rhe competitiveness of the area I am gunning for as a result of the qualification.
For me doing it part time may have paid off as I've used work as a place to enhance some of the skills gained. Any progressive company should make some arrangements for you to be able to work and study. Fortunately the operations manager had been to uni and so they changed my day off for me to attend and I worked weekends as a compromise. Really is a case of - you knowing what you can take

| Not only workload but you have to consider your financial situation. Can you afford to spend a year off work (bills, rent etc)?
