Dear Char,
Bald guru's head is flitting and is honoured to amend your educational search with some pointers here. Bald guru says take the winds, not only of convenience but of strongest pulls. Flap those wings and fly. These suggestions are mere burblings in the crystal ball of a modern mystical babbler. There are opportunities out there for the taking. (Un)fortunately they depend on:
1. Location
2. Timing
3. Budget
Overarching significator: (A robust) "Research, Research, Research!"
(Trucker Ape says...)
Step One: Maximize income, return on investment should equate to no more than two to three years of payments and at least 75% increase in annual income. Do the research to find suitable educational upgrading which meets all three previous points.
Meet the three points, as Genghis Kang once rejoindered, "Never make a move on the mountain without the three points..." Bad things happen without the three points.
Pick a nexus and stick to it even if it equals the cost of a brand new Lexus...it is a goal. You must stab a point on the calendar with your skewers, a budget acquired with a rattling claw, and a chosen hut to hole up in for the duration even if it is made of moss.
Self-dedication and over the top efforts under such occasions can seem like unto a madness. Not only to others but especially yourself. You may feel lost and a failure if you do not meet your dreams' paths. But life has its own dreams to fill. Be willing to be filled with what life gives. But that is the flame as it is once lit and tapers ever turning to the darkness. But it is not darkness. The darkness is an unknowing of the light. However life's path is for the taking. It is lit but once. Fear is alone in not trying. Dispel fear. This is quality of life and rambling causes. Trust your instincts to know what is right. I ramble but only for the best reasons. I still love to read and write freely. Almost any topic gives me intellectual delight.
There are numerous streams which you may enter. Each one can determine the path. The path is exactly that and nothing more. Inspirational readings can be taken from the texts of Lao Tzu and Confucious' Analects on the path. Please mitre out confusions. I am talking about diffusion of thoughts, ideas, goals, and learning objectives as a useful path. Learning for the sake of learning. It has a 21st century price. But it is an ageless old longing of the human mind. Which makes reasonable prices worth the expense. It is a hunger - once quenched - which can never be up-rooted. It is... of course you know...it is...the plant.

Step Two: Comparison shopping. For example, time out your next Asian holiday for example, to coincide with a pass into regional educational fairs either in Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, et Think competitive advantages to being one of five to ten white faces in a sea of non-native English speakers to understand how quickly you may assume leadership positions in research, group presentations, content development, fact-finding,and proof-reading under such conditions. The trade off...you get the grade you work for, and you learn to work with (sometimes) the hard to put to work? What is the advantage? Sterling English language skills, if you value them. Put them to work offshore. While you can still locally earn a crust of bread off your tongue and skin at the same time.
al. Pssst...Korea?
25-26 March, 2006
22nd Korean Student Fair
Seoul-South Korea
http://www.transworldeducation.com/exhibitions.htm#sept0506
These are regional local Asian hubs for smart shoppers like you or me. As in, regional campus alignments of reputable western institutions are on line and operating locally.

Local consumers are buying and paying for it at reduced head costs. It is 25-30% cheaper...but it is the same model all around as mainlands.
Step Three: Look at the trends. For example, the hottest sellers at the moment are business and internet technology...there are others...remember what the trucker ape says?
Dan's Hot Pick for March, 2006
American University of Bulgaria! Wow! Look at those affiliations! A winner in my book.
http://www.maine.edu/aub.html Affordable, quality, timing. All present. Go Bulgarian!
Search Tips
Google:
"American/Canadian/(Name a western nation)" in China/India/Vietnam/Japan/The Phillippines/Any developing nation where you can scrape out some butter ESL teaching on the sideboard...
The more you look at it, the more it makes sense. Buy in at one end, and see if you like it, then roll out to the home campus, where they are nearly bound to take you in with open arms...
Anyway, that is what a glass of beer does to an otherwise dry, analytical text on educational strategies.
