Having not thought about it, I'd have to scout out a good location first.

me and mom are going to spend the night in a Haunted Barn on the Gettysburg Battlefields with ghost hunters Reaper

Is it legal to sleep in a federal park? Dontknow I mean I know they have federal campgrounds, but I didn't know you could do that on a federal battlefield. Can you have a fire?

Gettysburg is pretty interesting
There is the federal park there, but a lot of the battlefield areas are/were privately owned

For example barns (like the one we are staying in), restaurants, homes, hotels- were all converted into makeshift hospitals for the injured or sleeping quarters for higher ups. So this is actually a person's private property.

The Federal park area does have a campground, scouts go there a lot. I hear the bathrooms are vomit There was a big to do about building a casino there a couple of years back, I'm not sure if they did or not.

I went to grad school for 2 years about a half hour from there and never toured the sites there Facepalm

I know you can camp at the Federal Park at Hawaii volcanoes too, its pretty cheap.

Good points. I tend to only camp in state parks so I don't know. Did you finish grad school? What did you go for? I was thinking about taking the GMAT or the LSAT a few years ago. I wanted to take over my dad's business, but he advised me against it. I don't think he wanted to work long enough to ramp me up. laugh out loud

I'm not much of a camper so this shall be interesting! I'm broadening my horizons laugh out loud

Yes I finished graduate school. Public administration with a focus on intergovernmental relations and financial resources management. After a decade and a half of that, I'm ready to start a business selling raw granola or something. I've had it with people laugh out loud

GRE's suck because they expire every 5 years Annoyed
if I decide to apply for Phd programs, I have to retake them AGAIN (for the 3rd time)
ummmmm I dont remember geometry or all that jazz
you should get points for having worked and being an adult learner
really am I gonna have to cram to not Bomb it

You can do it! woot

I'm working on getting my testing certification right now, and I don't have to renew that. But there are stepping stones to it; there are multiple certs that you can get depending on which ones you're going for and how long you've been in the profession. I technically shouldn't be able to get this one because I haven't been in the field long enough, but I'm not going to tell anyone that. Secret

Getting a degree just sounds like more effort than it's worth.

It's well worth it to get those test prep books they have.. they are only like $20 each, and have lots of practice questions. Also sample essay topics.. The bottom line is that when you practice on these, you get a huge advantage. I took the GRE twice.
The first time, in undergrad.. Rolled out of bed, hung over.. did ok.
Second time, during one of my midlife crisises.. I went through like 4 of the study guides. When I did the reading comprehension parts on the real test, I could anticipate what the questions were going to be LMAO Also, practicing writing the essays (with a time limit) is a huge advantage to going in cold. The practice made it really easy..

The GRE are all on a computer now, so you can't even HJ the testing person to get extra time Annoyed

I'm considering if that's what I really want to do
I have some time to decide before I have to apply for next year, etc

15-20 years ago, I think it was worth it, no matter what degree you chose.
Today, I think it's only worth it in certain areas/majors.
