(Apologies to both Sean and the group if this appears twice, but I got a strange error when trying to send earlier.) If that's how your boss feels, don't list it as a personal development goal or expect to get approval to use the company's money in whole or in part for graduate education. If attaining a graduate degree is really important to you personally, pay the tuition and fees yourself and negotiate the necessary terms (scheduling flexibility, etc.) with your existing employer. (I'm planning to start an executive MBA program next year. I know the personal return on investment that I expect to get from doing a graduate program, and what the business case is for me paying for it myself. :-) My employer has no tuition reimbursement policy, but has stated a willingness to work with me in terms of scheduling.) - bc -- Barry Campbell -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Blog: http://campbell-online.com ______________________________________________ Author Help files and create printed documentation with Doc-To-Help.
