psychgurl Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Have my tickets in hand! I would definitely still go to grad school...but I would be livin' the good life during grad school instead of being poor! (read: awesome condo in downtown chicago, fancy cars, expensive restaurants, TRAVELING WHENEVER POSSIBLE!) abc123xtc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblebee Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I would definitely stay in Grad School, I love what I study. But I would stop teaching to focus on my experience as a student, I would move to my own condo (with a huge kitchen), get myself a car, and travel around the world during the summer breaks.

jbriar Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Yep. Even winning $7 had 1:306 odds, so I was pretty excited. I'm buying McDonald's breakfast to celebrate my windfall. urbanaut and dimanche0829 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGrad2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Yes, I would still go to Grad School, and with the money if I win, I will not have to worry about finances. I would go to enjoy the passion of learning and live the good life anyway. It still does not change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTgirl Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Probably not. I'm 35 and already have one masters and am interested in changing careers. I love to travel and just got back from Europe and wish I could just move there. I'm married so going to grad school there is not an option. If I won, we could just move to Europe, buy apartments in several cities, and not have to worry about jobs. Or maybe we'd both apply to programs abroad, just for personal enrichment and to meet people. But I would not be pursuing what I am pursuing right now. opulent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imonedaful Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 If I won the lottery, it would give me more reason to go to graduate school. I could do it, have fun, and not have to worry about finances. I would set up a scholarship fund and name it after myself (because I have always wanted something named after me, haha). opulent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanaut Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hypothetically, yes I would still go. And it would open up the opportunity to go anywhere in the world, regardless of tuition and living expenses. And then subsequently, I would donate a sufficient sum to have an auditorium named after me. I would then establish an NGO/charity and become a globe-trotting humanitarian (with a yacht). <- those sunglasses would be designer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiffanyamber81 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) Yes, I would go all the way to PHD. I love, love learning. But, I'd do as those above me - and establish a NGO and create empowerment programs for local communities that help to rise above systemic barriers. However, I will still be doing this. Just the extra funds would save time from grant writing and such. Edited April 11, 2012 by tiffanyamber81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
