So, I am scaring myself. I am completely wrapped up with thoughts and ideas inspired by Friedman's book - and I find myself actually considering the worst possible scenario: Returning to School.
After my abysmal experience with Georgetown, I vowed never to write another paper, read another assigned text, or participate in an quasi-informed classroom debate again. Yet here I am. I am thinking about trying to find a local, part-time, paid-for-by-work certificate program in environmental studies. I've done some rudimentary research, and there really isn't that much out there.
An alternative that I have considered is looking at the various graduate programs out there and, if I can, accessing syllabi for standard texts, articles, etc that I can read to "teach myself." It's cheaper (except for the cost of books - if I buy any) but I don't get any formal recognition or feedback.
I am very reluctant to go back to the classroom, and I am certainly not going to put myself into any further debt (I promise, DH!) But I am really intrigued and would love to get myself into a position where I am consulting or making policy on environmental issues. For instance, helping/advising large brands bolster their reputations by implementing conservation strategies with their suppliers. Stuff like that.
I am such a dreamer...

so you're hoping to put "Ph.D from The School of Brett" on your resume?
hahaha - you might as well just admit that you'll never be able to stay out of school very long!
