That's why I'm trying to do a five year masters degree program. I think I'm charged the same amount I pay in undergrad, so it'd be much cheaper than doing it elsewhere and for 3 years.

If I do go onto having a career in education on the university level, then I'll have to get a PhD. If not, I'll probably stop at my Masters degree. I'd loooove to get another BA/BS degree in one of my other interests, like Psychology, Graphic Design, or Biology.

EDIT: I'm in a similar situation, BarelySee. I'm the first person to go to college in my family, and my parents really don't seem to understand college at all.
