Also better to do this in your twenties.
I was a full time Graduate Assistant when I started my Doctorate in Fall 2004. In Jan. 2006 I started my full-time job when all my course credits were finished and had a long 2-year gap of not taking any research credit. I started back in 2008 and since then North Dakota State due to having their unique ways mostly because having lot of part-timers from MicroSoft, allowed me to take distant research credits as many as I could manage while working. I have one more paper to go, six more credits to finish and all I have one Spring and a busy Summer left.
