finishing up my first semester of grad school. i’m in a “top 25” social work program. i’m already over all this work. i’ve been pretty successful so far (grade wise), but i have one more big paper due and i just can’t make myself do it. ugh. need motivation.
-
yeah, a hard thing about grad school is definitely the big projects/papers. especially the ones that don’t immediately go away when you finish them, like theses and stuff. i always go easy on myself, get my favorite snacks, settle in for the long haul, and then do something nice for myself when it’s all over. good luck! you got this!

This is going to sound really lame, but my student are in default. Oops. Lost my job, bad economy, blah blah blah. But, now I got into grad school and they won’t lend me more money unless I settle. Does anyone know how the hell to do that with out a job?

Hello hello! I’m in the beginning stages to being a nurse, second semester of prereqs at my com college. I’m currently working in the garden department of Home Depot, and it is very physically demanding. I come home too tired to study; after nine hours in a place where I don’t really think, I have no motivation to do anything but eat and sleep. My…[Read more]

the closest thing i can think of would be to volunteer on a floor that you’re interested in. as for studying, maybe you could bring some flashcards to work on a keychain or try to get a study group going. it can be tough to self-motivate when you’re already super busy and tired. sometimes you need other people to help you along. :) good luck…[Read more]

what about working at a skilled nursing or assisted living facility? i currently have a bachelors (that is not in nursing, i’m in the process of applying to schools to get a second degree BSN), and to get experience/to get a job i’ve been working as a care aide at an assisted living facility. it’s definitely an entry level position (you just need…[Read more]

I need motivation.
-
To finish grad school? Just look at the job market- try to put off joining the real world for as long as humanly possible.
-
Umm….thanks? ;) I’m actually in optometry school (which isn’t technically grad school, but I figured close enough), so I definitely have about 3 1/2 years to go. Currently I’m needing motivation to study for this anatomy test. What are you in school for?
-
I’m in for Public Administration. I decided that I might want a career one day after spending four years studying liberal arts. Sadly, I have rediscovered that I love random, useless knowledge much more than the practical sort.

always in need of motivation. It’s rough.

Totally awesome group…..last year of grad school for me (engineering field) BUT I’m thinking of continuing the fun….can you say PhD? Attending ASU…. in the beautiful city of Tempe but not so great state of AZ (politically speaking).
-
I’ve been thinking about ASU for PhD. Would you recommend their grad school?
-
My program is relatively small (construction engineering mgmt) and I’ve enjoyed my experiences… I’m sure every program is different. Campus life is pretty cool but at the grad level that lots of time is spent on individual research/study. Oh, and the weather is great after mid September. What program are you interested in?

-
That sounds promising. I’ve been looking at the School of Evolution and Social Change for biological anthropology.
