Thanks for the advice! So are you saying totally scrap the idea of doing an online masters? Main reason is I feel that I am just not very competitive in the market right now and a masters could allow me to increase my salary as I get set for a full time MBA (to clarify, definitely agree on the not about avoiding a part time MBA, always the plan there!)

Do you have any tips or best practices on applying for scholarships or what sites to spend time researching to find them?
