How's your lease Billay? Maybe split a 2BR?

Landlord should allow an upgrade.

Another issue: I currently possess a geriatric cat.

Now this issue might resolve itself as I'm not sure it could survive a three hour car ride.

A cat is just another very small piece of furniture.

When I went to UMKC for my interviews, they pimped some new on-campus apartments for professional students hard, but they might be Med School/Pharm/Dentistry only.

Being totally uninformed about that, I would say you're most likely correct.

Send me a PM.

UMKC owns several blocks of houses near their campus. They provide housing here for families at great rates. I would call them and ask about their houses surrounding campus.

Question: Why UMKC over Missouri State?

1) MSU doesn't have an MSF program; they have an MBA in Finance.

2) I need to get out of here for my own sake, I don't want to live with my mother and grandmother out east nor do I want to move back to Joplin.

Why an MSF over an MBA?

I know a metric shit ton of CFO's and Directors of Finance that have MBA's but I've never encountered anyone with an MSF. Even a good friend that went to the London School of Business, who is redonk successful, has an MBA.

MSFs aren't prevalent, for certain. But in my case (three-ish years of freelance reporting and a liberal arts degree [English/Writing], no management experience of any sort) it's a better option than an MBA.

Well, my experience in the finance world (at Paramount & Universal in a former life) says that the MBA is clearly the way to go. I know several successful guys ($200k plus a year) with MBA's from Pepperdine.

There's a move for ya. :D

I did consider the MBA at Rockhurst.. As well as taking classes to get a grad certificate whilst looking for jobs.
