Choir Ninja, With Ryan Guth

Should you really get that Master’s degree? In this episode, I speak about the reasons people choose to leave their teaching job to go back to school, give you a simple cost/benefit analysis one can use to determine whether school makes sense, and what they could do besides returning to school! Listen Show Notes Reasons people choose to go back to school for their master’s degrees Bored in current school job Job is too stressful Current position is the wrong fit Required by state/district Looking for a significant other Satiate a need to feed one’s brain Feed their ego Delay reality Cost/benefit analysis (ROI - Return on Investment) Do you have a choral ed job now? If so… What’s your current salary? What would be your new salary? Can you get a sabbatical in your current position? Would you get rehired by the same school/district? What’s the cost to the program of you leaving and coming back? If not.. Are you delaying reality? Just out of undergrad Haven’t been hired yet after applying/interviewing
