3 Things To Consider Before Getting Your Master's Degree + Congrats To All The 2020 / 2021 Graduates!

In December 2020, I had the honor and distinction of finally graduating with my master’s degree from LIM College in New York City. My program lasted a year and a half. And a lot changed in that short period because of the pandemic, along with life changes and stress. However, I am consistently asked if getting a Master’s is something that you even should consider, and if so, what are some steps you should take to achieve your goals. I want to first preface this by saying that nobody can decide for you when it comes to your education. My mother and father instilled the values of education in me as a child. I learned later on that I suffered from extreme anxiety and stress, especially when it came to tests and tight deadlines with multiple courses.

When I graduated from Howard University, I wanted to make sure that going back to school was the decision that I wanted for myself, not a decision I made for somebody else. That being said, I waited, and I’m so thankful that I did because it was ultimately the best experience for me. With my master’s in hand, I am eyeing additional educational opportunities, whether that is an MBA program or going and pursuing my Ph.D. However, if you are considering returning to school or possibly going back for your master’s or higher education during this time, there are a few things that I think you can consider.
