May I know why you want to go back to school? Are you planning to create your own startup in the future or work at a startup? Or work at big companies?

  There's a few reasons really so to be brief - I want to go back so I have less time thinking about my current career (50-60+ hours a week - no ownership), and more time thinking about a startup I am directly involved in while gaining hands-on experience towards an MSMIS or MSBIS. Basically, I want all my cards dealt to a startup rather than half of them since the other half is dealt to my current career. You may ask why I can't just jump straight into the startup and the answer to that is, because I'm repaying loans (private/federal) and paying bills. However, if I go back to school, I can defer the loans and gain financial aid which can be used towards other home expenses like rent, etc. I hope this explains it a bit better..

    That sounds like you're digging yourself deeply into debt, especially if the startup fails (as most do). You know more about your situation than I do, but tread carefully.

      you're right about the debt. that's definitely a big factor which is why I've been contemplating on whether or not to take this route and why I asked about it here.. I will, thanks.
