With so much at stake in this shaky economy, many find it hard to make time to study, work, and have a social life. When it comes right down to it, there should be a healthy balance of work and family life to make anyone a viable competitor in the business world. Unfortunately for most, work outweighs family almost five times to one, leaving many a student with an uncomfortable amount of stress and, in the long run, a fizzling ambition for bigger and better things.
“All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.” It’s not just a saying, it’s an affirmative. Most people who consider résumés are looking for a candidate with extensive education as well as an interesting perspective on their personal life.

The retention rate for most big name universities is slipping among graduate students. The combination of expenses and unfeasible work schedules makes it nearly impossible to understand how many survive graduate study in this environment. For the most part, a graduate student is paying for -and therefore must attend- about 45 to 60 credit hours. Because universities err on the side of business rather than education, most students either have to take out irrational loans or have to work full time to meet expenses.
