21 course credit at our school means I didn't get a single credit. 
Well, I only took 2 course as audited (Microecon theory1, and Math Stat for Economist) , and it was not as hard, so we shall see I will stop being a sissy and take classes as credited. It is not that "Can I finish?" but more of "is it worth the $?"
~$4500 for a "feeler" was costly, but my wife is extremely happy that I even got accepted.
I am still living in late 90s in-state tuition dreamworld. 
People who I've talked with told me to take some as audited before making a decision.
If i decide to pursue forward, I will think about teaching. Even getting an visiting/adjunct status are not as easy as 15 years ago.
I really applied to a school which is really not known for what I want. I just applied to this school, because it is closest and I took undergrad there. I am more of micro or operation guy, and our school is known for intl econ (especially trade side). I think our school was rank as low as #40 overall around year 2000. |
Honestly I am a corporate guy through and through. No interest in teaching. I just want the PhD after my name, because everyone has a CPA, CIA, CFE, CISA, or MBA
But how many people in corporate finance have PhD? Not too many..well now I sound like a complete snob.
