Well, it’s official. I successfully defended my thesis this past Friday, so in a few months, I’ll be the proud new owner of a $20,000 Master of Science degree. This means that I’ll no longer be a broke grad student, but a broke former grad student. Sweet.
Anyway, it feels great to make it over this final obstacle. Now all I have to do is finish up some revisions and corrections to my writeup, and I’ll be done for good.
“So what’s next?” you ask.
Well, I figure if I put as much effort into paying off my debt as I did into finishing up my thesis, then I can shoot for becoming a debt-free former grad student as soon as possible. The great thing about life is that as soon as one adventure ends, another begins.

Congrats! What is the next step on the job front?
Congrats! I can only hope to achieve what you’ve done in a couple of years… In any case, it’ll be interesting to follow your new adventure. Are you going to add the “former” part in the blog title too?
