Re: “My grandson will graduate college one full year ahead of schedule, with over a 4.0 GPA while playing on the university he attends mens football team, D2 competition. He wants to be a History teacher and will mostly next year be doing lots of student teaching.. I hope this is what he really wants.”The teaching experience and high GPA are qualities 6-year Ph.D. programs want. You might want to encourage your grandson to consider going that route. If he gets a Ph.D. he can be hired to teach at the University level instead of Intermediate or High School, and if he prefers Intermediate or High School, he'll be a candidate for School Principal after a few years. The degree opens doors. Should he decide after two years that he doesn't want to continue pursuing it, he can still drop out and leave with a Masters degree paid for by the University he was in. Ph.D. programs even pay their students a few bucks - which is only fair since they're essentially slave laborers while they're there. Joey is paid something like $36,000 annually now. That's chicken feed considering California expenses and the hours he's putting in, but it's better to get that money from the school than to have to pay it TO the school while pursuing a Masters degree, right?

It's something to think about.

Joey's roommate and best friend from UVA went to Cambridge for a year and came back with a Master's degree. That's a pretty good program! He's now at UCLA, also looking for a Ph.D. His focus is Math. While the friend graduated from UVA when Joey did, he's now a year ahead thanks to Cambridge's one-year Master's degree and UCLA's 4-year Ph.D. I doubt there were many UVA roommates with brighter futures than those two.
