Hi everyone,
first let me say Congrats to all who have been accepted and wish best of luck to those waiting ( for getting a call and those wait'g for their bundle of joy.)
Com'g to my predicament, I am an 32(will become 33 this yr) yr young mother of an adorable 2 yr old son(for whom I have found a babysitter whom he loves & this lady takes good care of him.),Now that my son is old enough I want to start my life again,problem is don't know what to do.
1.had an 84 on my part1 which I retook and got an 77
😡😡
2.so thought to do my mph and then get into teaching or any organizations ( have 3 yr experi in India in teaching and conduction survey and treatment camps )
3.right now studying for my GRE
😱😱
4.Most places the MPH is 2yrs but can finsh it in 18 months,fees for MPH will be about 30-40 K,start'g salary will be 50-60 K and can go up till 160K(from what I found out).
5.Have been recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism.
6.main goal is to do my dds
Good news is Have got my EAD.
Don't know whether to
A.Put my son in day care,get an part time job,retake my part1 and 2 and apply for 2010 and get another baby before I turn 35 and my dear hubby 40.
pro's :a.Do my DDS,Get baby and get to stay with kid for at least 6 months
b.down the lane will not feel like a failure.
Cons: Time lost ???,might not do well again in ndbe, Cash for 2 daycare's
B.do my MPH,get a baby and forget doing my dds(will be forgoing my dream,may feel bad down the lane{after 20 or 30 yrs})
Looks very appealing in all ways except my dds ( sometimes think life is more than dds?)
one thing is sure would like to have another baby,come what may
presently live in chicago,so thinking of going to uic and trying for any job overthere and continue with plan A.
pls guide me and give me ur inputs.
