Complicated

Why do things need to be so complicated...or rather why should I have a need to be so complicated. I am debating my future: to master in education or to master in human development, that is the question!

There are many pros and cons of each...this is a work in progress.

Masters in Education (Curriculum and Instruction)

Pros
It is logical...why would a teacher NOT want to be better at instructing and curriculuming.
Lots of places to get it that are close: Emporia, Pittsburg.
Most programs are all or partially on line

Cons
Everybody is doing it.
Not very specific to my career goals.
Teacher specific-hard to use a M in C and I in another career field. Not that I plan on switching but if it happens I would want something with more transferability (is this a word?)


Masters in Human Development

Pros
More specific to my career goals.
Can be used if I ever wanted to change jobs, as long as it has something to do with humans, and thier development.
Mostly on-line.

Cons
Only offered at KSU.
Hardcore program that is hard to get into (should have studied more in the last 4 years!)

As I discover more pros and cons I will add them...let me know your opinions.
