Does anyone know of a good/decent MS in Applied Physics online for around/less than 20k? I found the Johns Hopkins one for 50-60 grand, which is a price point that takes away from retirement planning. I am a dual-disciplined PE in Chemical and electrical engineering and a BS in Chemical Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines and the equivalent of a minor in electrical engineering and mathematics from a local university.
I am trying to break into defense from a varied career starting in oil and gas and then some miscellaneous telecommunications work, and now I work for a radio station as a technician. The job descriptions almost always prefer an MS in science (not required but will make you less competitive if you dont have it and another candidate does) and have roadblocks with needing active security clearances (which is a whole other issue).
I can't do much about the security clearance, but maybe I can do something about the MS degree ...?
Or do I just stay in the technician job and finish dollar-cost-averaging my way to a million bucks and then substitute-teach elementary school part-time and kinda coast into retirement?
