Is going back to school worth it ?
Information Technology (IT) Manager - (City withheld for privacy), Illinois, United States
In these challenging times, it definitely is worth going back to school.

Scenario:

A woman who has worked in the banking industry for 18 years as a business analyst lost her job. She only had a high school diploma. She thought will her years of experience she would be able to find a job without any issue. SHE WAS WRONG. Every employer she interviewed with told her the same story. You must have a Bachelor's degree or a certification. She has started school to get her PMP.

This is a very rough lesson to learn in this financially difficult time(s).
