Sad news for me. NWR

Original post by wilmetted

I applied to go to back and get my Master's in Business Administration. Not only did I get admission to one of the top 20 business schools, I also got a full scholarship.
Unfortunately, I cannot take it because I am the major bread winner and there is no way we can survive on FH's salary. I am really sad to turn this down but my family comes first. I Pray that I will be able to handle this properly.

I am only working on my bachelors but I was doing full time work and full time school (evenings - weekend if necessary) I dont know how your schedule would be for your masters or what kind of classes you would be taking/....Would this be a possibility for you? It may be hard but if there is a slight possibility that both can be handled you should probably give it a try. If you got this scholarship is because you deserved it and there must be a way to work it out.

Anyway congratulations on getting the scholarship, things always have a way of working out I hope you find a good solution.

I'll say it one more time....I KNOW that you can make this work and I really think that you CANNOT pass this up.
Your FH has a job in social services. You won't be wearing Prada or travelling to Paris for the next 2 yrs.......but you will when its over and you'll have greater experiences and opportunities b/c of it. THere are ways to make this work; you just need to find them. A full scholarship cannot be passed up. You will regret and resent it in the future . Unless there are medical reasons within your immediate family, you cannot pass up this opportunity....it would be a terrible shame and a gross waste.

ONe more question........you don't need to answer this. Its more important that you just answer it for yourself.
If you were totally single.......what would you do?

First off, congrats!!!!! That's a huge accomplishment and you should be really proud!

On the flip side, that really stinks that you're in this situation. I completely see where you're coming from though. Just think about the situation 10 years from now. Will you regret not going? If so, you and FH need to find a way to make it work. Good luck!!!
