I'm looking to go for a doctorate degree.

I have decided to try for a doctorate at Marshall University, my favorite stomping grounds. I am interested in the doctor of education-curriculum and instruction program. I may have to be interviewed as part of the admissions process. Has anybody ever gone through this process, and what was it like for you? I may be interested in teaching journalism and/or graphic art-website design as another way of fulfilling my dream of combing the two fields. Any ideas?

I do know about these fields, but I say you should follow what you believe in. Also maybe both. Knowledge is a powerful thing so you learning more won't hurt no one.

True indeed. It is always good to further your education just be mindful of what you're getting yourself into. I know a couple of people who went for the doctorate and are now in debt for life. One gentleman has to sleep on a friends sofa because he cant afford his own due to paying on his shcool debt.

Be very careful about taking on debt to obtain a Doctorate. It might be too costly without the guarantee of a professorship. Schools hire adjuncts who aren’t paid enough to survive on and it’s compounded by having to pay down what they owe. Probably a bad ROI.

If you do end up going through the education and start your career, then awesome I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be happy for you. I wish you the best.

I only have a Masters degree. However, my advice is to just be yourself and be honest. Answer their questions in a thoughtful manner and see what happens. I wish you the best!

I hope there are people on this website who are advanced degree holders.I would caution on too much education leading to you being more overqualified then you already are.
