i definitely need to take a leave for semester one, otherwise i would miss the finals, but i could probably get away with skipping two or three weeks of school in semester two. and no one cares about us. the best part is you get free ice cream…my kiddos loved that. candidates who have earned an advanced degree may find it easier to secure a job in human resources, and they may also be able to command higher starting salaries than those with bachelor’s degrees.
