Whew! Today’s edition of Cool Tools was a good one. I especially liked the entry on live blogging conferences and the entry on the Personal MBA. I’ve been thinking about grad school quite a bit the last few years, or even law school, but just haven’t been able to justify spending $600 a credit hour and anywhere from $15,000-$50,000 total to get a grad degree, not to mention spending 4 hours in a class two or three times a week after working 8-9 hours. Reading the Personal MBA site has given me a lot to think about. If my employer were to offer tuition reimbursement, I’d go for a grad degree, no question. But without it, I can’t see the ROI anytime soon, especially with the economy tanking the way it is.
