more good news: i told nancy i got my (useless) affirmative action letter from psu last night .*sigh* she wrote:
I was going to email you this evening...you must have ESP. Again, you didn't hear this from me, but, we just today made an offer to a person with a MS in computer science and PhD in Ed Psych. IF you had only had an MS! Your name came up a number of time with this very sentiment mentioned everytime. You really were very very well qualified for this job, with the exception of the degree. I am truly sorry this didn't work out. I think you would have done a great job and you would have like Portland.
so this leaves me w/ a choice i would have preferred not to make: do i get a master's just to get a credential, or do i get a master's to try to learn more than i already know? the decision will influence what program i pick.
