grad school or no grad school

.........THAT is the question of the moment.

I know I'm not alone in this dilemma. When it feels like the "real world" value of an undergradute degree dwindles daily, what options are us lowly 20-somethings left with?

Blah Blah Blah. All been said before. But now I am dealing with it personally, and it is daunting.
All it really boils down to is, you guessed it:

$$$ MONEY$$$

I would LOVE to go to Lesley University for a Masters in Expressive Therapies, but can I really justify 2 years of schooling costing $60, 000 that would take me YEARS to pay back? What about scholarships? Good luck, average white girl (I mean CAUCAAAASIAN). The most money I saw that Lesley gives out is like $3000. BAH. 

So then I started thinking...........
What if I got one of 
 or 
  and went
here 
  to   
school
      after completeing a training with
and was able to work with women going through 
by using
which I would learn about through
 program.

What if?!

That way I wouldnt have to pay for it. HOLLA. IF I were fortunte enough to recieve one of these scholarhips, it woulnt be for lke 2 years. So that's a lot of time to decide/plan/think. Feels like too much. We'll see.

ALSO- I knowwwww this is Kaitlin in America blog, so why am I talking ALREADY about traveling again?? All I've been talking about lately is how great it is to be home!! And it totally is! It's just that I know that within a year or two the travel bug that has been instilled in me will rear its beautiful/ugly head. Plus, it's just sweet lil Switzerland. Who wouldn't want to go chill there for a hot minute?
