I have indeed enjoyed my week off between classes. As some of you might know, one of my favorite hobbies is photography. Last night I was in Katy, Texas (near Houston) to see The Flying Fish Sailors, a band that a friend of mine founded many years ago. They play Celtic music for the most part. It was a really good show. I took some photos.
I have also been thinking about that next degree I want to get. Something becoming more prevalent in my mind is why I need to get a doctorate degree. My main reasons were (1) to further my knowledge and (2) have the opportunity to teach. But then it hit me. Why do I need a doctorate? If I really want to get another degree, a second Masters degree will suffice. I only want to teach at the community college and perhaps online. This might do the trick.
So looking for Masters degrees online, I see that there are a lot more options than there were just a couple of years ago. Texas A&M-Commerce has several options to pick from. Texas A&M (the main campus) also is expanding their offerings with a M.Ed in Educational Technology as well as other subjects.
The reason I am trying to focus my attention on Texas schools is the cost. I did check into the MBA programs in Texas before I started at Norwich and found that since I was considered an in-state student, the cost was roughly half that of Norwich. Why I picked Norwich is clear now. It did cost more, but I am satisfied that I got what I paid for and the school is very reputable.
Anyway … I am going to continue looking into the option for a second Masters degree.
Here are some of the photos I took at The Angel and The Ox Pub in Katy, Texas.
