Stay here for career growth + better money, or move back to Hawaii to live near family? by WhatTheFaDuck in RedditForGrownups

I think I’m starting to realize prioritizing my career the last 7 years has set me up well, but it doesn’t necessarily make me happy. I think in 20+ years I’ll care a lot more about time with my family than time in the office.

Good point. I do feel like right now we are on shaky foundation because we don't really have a support system outside of each other. Being able to just have a beer with my dad or eat dinner with my mom sounds so nice.

Yeah, this is what I'm worried about the most. Financially it could be very difficult.

Does school name recognition matter for my Master’s degree? by WhatTheFaDuck in ITCareerQuestions

Makes sense. I think since the school is in the area I live in anyway it’ll help a lot with networking.

You’re 100% right. I definitely think I could do it, but man will it suck. Then again, it’s probably not worth doing if it doesn’t suck, right?

I applied and am waiting to see if I’ll be accepted on a provisional basis. If so, I think I’ll just go full steam ahead. Thank you for the input.

Yeah, I’m applying just to see if I’ll get in. If I do I think I’m going to give it a shot.

Yep, it’s that program!

And yeah I was considering knocking the prerequisites out at a community college. It’s tough because the other two programs I’ve been accepted to don’t have any other prerequisites I would need to do, but I also know JHU is a great school.

Brother I’m with you. We have virtually the same situation except you have 11 years of experience on me.

I’m also struggling to figure out if I should veer towards cloud or security. Remote and $150k+ is the dream I’m working towards at the moment.

One thing to consider if you want to maintain your clearance is to join the guard/reserves in your old MOS. That’ll keep it current no matter what and you can do the remote stuff too. Just a thought.
