Today I bought Dragons of Eberron and now I MUST have a game group. The missing piece or two from my Chaos Effect campaign is there. ugh. need time, friends and materials.....

I know how you feel, I have a group, but I only get to play with them during summer. And it looks like this may be the last summer I get to play with them.

Theold group play only on Sundays which I work and from what I understand, now that most of them are either parents or in a serious relationship they don't play much. My last group because of drugs had to be broken up.

I need to start from scratch with a group that will play 1 Saturday a month and even then on a Saturday the wife works so that I don't screw that up. Seems impossible but I gotta try.....

I think it was maroon.

Do you think you'll do grad school? Is it worth it?

I think so, and I think so.

At least, I have a couple reasons for getting a graduate degree.
-One, I'm really good at Economics--much better than the average Economics student--and would like a degree as proof in the job market.
-Two, I really enjoy Economics, and the idea of taking more classes in it seems really fun (especially if they pay for a big chunk of it).
-Three, a specialization is really only possible with either a very long career (which I can't do very quickly) or with a PhD (though, I haven't decided between a Master's and a PhD yet, or whether or not I really want to specialize, and I'm only partially sure that the specialization I'd go for is available at the schools I'm looking at).
-Four, A Master's is a $10 pay increase in starting salaries, on average, and a PhD is $20k more on top of that. Average salaries have a much more dramatic difference, according to my understanding.
-Five, possibilities in the job market really increase a bunch with a graduate degree, and I think there's a growing demand for it.

You probably didn't need all of those reasons, but it's useful to me to lay them out like that.

There are, of course, drawbacks, but they don't seem as significant in the long run to me.

Hope you're well, Mega!

I need a group too. And time to play with them. I started a new job not too long ago, too. Bleh.

I also need a group. I'm just too lazy / worried about psychos to go and get one. Some of the groups I've played in are awesome. The other groups are the kinds where people play once when they're starting out and never play another game and use that group as the reason why. :\ Good luck to us all I guess.

Sounds like you should do it.
