|  | On the TB leaderboard for low talent/gear ratios! | | Join Date: Jun 2000 Location: NJ | | I have an MS rather than an MA, which took 5 years doing it at night while I worked full time. It got so grueling near the end I wanted to quit but thankfully decided that I invested way too much time to just throw it away. That kept me motivated for the last year or so.
It's tough doing it while working full time, but that's a good way to have someone else pay for it. I don't know if I would have spent the money to pay for it myself. Quote:

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Fort Collins, Colorado | | | I run distance ed programs. The average for our distance students is 2-3 years. Depends a lot on their other commitments. If you're an on-campus student and not working more than 20 hours a week, most do it in 18-24 months.
But they WORK at it. Getting it done in that time period requires consistent effort.
