I need a PhD to advance in my career. I have been accepted into a program but have no funding. I worked so hard to get here (almost five years) and it kills me not to proceed. But I refused to take on debt (probably around 200K to complete). I am a teacher (15yrs)and want to be a teacher–I am too old to change. I don’t know what other careers are available. I have a BA and two MA’s (history/eduaction)–outside of academia they are probably useless. I don’t think I have it in me to spend more time “forcing” this goal. What should I do?
