>>1148393415 years ago, the county I worked at implemented a stricter teacher license rule in that I needed to go to grad school if I wanted to basically keep my job.
The win-win was that I would get a masters degree and bump up my salary quite a bit so I sold my 90s toys and managed to pay the tuition with no problem.
I even told my evening classmates and some lauded my for efforts (I'm sure some of them thought I was the main character from 40 year old virgin but whatever).
Got through 2.5 years of boring classes, got the degree, enjoyed the bump in salary, and bought more toys. Life was toughat the time but it worked out in the end.
