"The pros of my graduate program consist of more opportunities for an educational career overseas, a more thorough knowledge of educational practices in my field, and more chances to build a firm network of colleagues and international friends. The cons of my graduate program is the perpetual requirement of schooling that matches the ever changing world of curriculum and instruction, the significant lack of job options in the USA for a person with this degree, and the absence of formal classroom experience beyond the 90 hour practicum requirement."
