Mavisgibbons considers life options part IV: the (anti)climax.

ANOTHER EXTRA YEAR?  Arghghghghghghh money/7 year cap/general anger at lack of direction.

Pretty sure the 7 year cap doesn't apply to most postgrad courses. Ask the uni about it.

Haven't been through the whole thread so I'm not sure whether you've finalised your decisions yet, but if you're after money, have you considered going into the residential industry? You could work as a display home sales consultant and earn around $150,000 to $200,000 and you only need to complete the relevant TAFE course (which lasts around only a year).

So if you're still stuck, have a go at this! Finish the course in a year, find some work at a building firm and who knows, you might like it (and earn big money!).

I do love houses.

SOLD.

It would be pretty tempting.. it's only a desk job!

Move to uPenn now. Be a faculty-whore there instead of at UoM. Acquire a broad network. Use network to make money and learn at the same time.

Yeah, it's a good way for some people to make a living but Real Estate definitely isn't for 95% of people. You need to have a serious zing for appearing attractive and trustworthy to people, have a consistently positive attitude in front of people and yeah. But then again, I have no idea what Mavis is like in real like, maybe you are this person!

Move to Harvard now. Be a shut in geek with a penchant for pranks and create a "FaceMash" website. Crash the university servers and steal another student's idea. Become a billionaire.

I should do it, everyone knows that old Facewhatsit site is getting old and tired.
