Hi everyone,
Recently I was offered a GA position with a tuition waver and a small stipend to an out of state school. I could see myself being happy here and I am excited about the research being conducted, but I don't think there are many externship placements that align closely with my career goals after I graduate.
Ideally, my goal is to work in a specific large city in a rehab facility/ hospital. I've been accepted to all of the programs offered in the city with no funding, but still waiting to hear back from one. Any of these programs would be a dream but the tuition and cost of living is just so high!!!
Is it worth the debt/ manageable in order to gain externship experiences in the exact professional environment that I see myself in/ also the connections that I could make? Or would I be crazy to put myself in so much debt?
If anyone finds themselves in a similar situation I would be SO grateful for any insight.
Thank you!!!
