Hi, Lynn! Kudos on your decision to return to graduate school. I apologize this post is so late in coming, but I've just taken over administration of this site. If you are truly determined to pursue your education, there are ways to manage the full-time/day-time requirement. First, look into fellowships and assistantships in your Department and other areas of the university. Though usually these are part-time and don't pay big-bucks, combined with financial aid (usually loans), they can help you make it through. Internships are usually a part of a counseling degree, so I'd also recommend trying to find a paid internship. You may also wish to consider trying to find evening and/or weekend employment to help supplement your income. Best of luck to you! Lynn Byrne
