Answer 1

none of the above... I can't get the job I want in psychology without a doctorate.  Its all about personal goals and what I want to do with my life, for me.

Answer 2

Well I dont have one yet, but I plan on getting mine.  The reasons for me are to learn more and advance my career.  Im intrested in Forensic Nursing and I can only get a Graduate Degree in it, so why not do it.  I already have a husband, I have a great family and see it as dumb to make people jealous of me.  I have a 8 month old daughter, so my time is limited.
