Whenever you are in the education field the question continually comes up as to whether or not you are going to finish your doctorate. It’s a valid question, it really is. I mean, in any field you should want to get to the top of you field and in education, that’s a doctorate. It’s just not as easy as it may seem though. First, finding a program that is in your field. Second, finding that program geographically close is generally a good thing. Lastly, trying to find any 
program that is affordable at the same time with enough rigar to ensure the degree is worth obtaining can be almost impossible. Now take all of those issues and combine them and you’ll know what I’ve went through.
I originally started a program at a popular state college that was not really what I wanted but it was A. geographically close and B. economical (free for me). What I found out was that even though A + B was there, it wasn’t the program I wanted and thus it became more tedious than it was really worth for me. In years past, doctorates in IT of any kind were few and far between. Now they are becoming a lot more common, but at the same time they are not necessarily affordable even if they are online with some rigor and in my program.
In other words, for me, my doctorate represents a three-headed monster that seems impossible to find. At some point, it won’t be feasible as I won’t have the willpower to complete it.
