Graduate & Her Mom, also a Graduate
"I can think of no greater time to be in this profession thanks to the diverse employment choices. My education will enhance my career possibilities and pave the way for my retirement. If I choose to relocate to another state, I will always find a job.

Getting my education at SUNY Upstate couldn't have been easier. For the past five years I've taken courses in the evening or on my day off. I'll complete my master's in May '05 and it never disrupted my work schedule.

I had an added bonus—
my daughter went through the program with me. It's often difficult to spend time with adult children, so we enjoyed the opportunity to study together. We agreed that professors were friendly, helpful and understanding of family obligations."
