Short version of the story is that I left my MS program in Criminal Justice back in 2017 without finishing due to family/work.

I was just curious about the program and how much I had left to go, so I emailed them and was informed I have half left (6 more courses) which would amount to $23,994 (excluding costs of books) to finish.

One side of me, hates leaving things unfinished. I would have finished the program many years before had I not had some emergency in the family and had to help them with their business full time.

The other half of me, is wondering what in the world am I going to do with a MS in criminal justice, knowing what I know now and feel about my future concerning my career.

Classes begin on August 21.
