Anyone else questioning their decision or finding it challenging to leave their paid job? I have recently been offered a promotion which offers huge connections in the field as well as great experience and I've turned it down in order to pursue an MSW. I'm concerned that it might be awhile before I get a similar opportunity and that the time I take to complete my education might actually in some ways put me behind in my career advancement, even though in the long term it will help. I dunno, food for thought.

Hey Stary, I was accepted into International and Community Development as well.

Thanks for everyone's kind words As for how I got in... it was a last minute decision to apply. I only applied to one school. However, I did a lot of research on the program and decided it was the best fit. I have a BA in family studies and a B.Ed in the senior stream. I taught for a year at a school for children with autism and this year I traveled around the province doing preventive education workshops on the topic of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. I want to continue my research into this area, working on preventive education for sexual exploitation and gang recruitment.

I would personally accept, because you never know what will happen. The decision is up to you. I accepted because it was my first and only choice.

I was just accepted into the MSW 2 year program at the University of Calgary. I have until March 28th to decide, however I accepted the offer today.
