I am a second year PhD and I want to change my school for a couple of reasons. Given that currently I am in one of the best schools in my area, I don't have many choices to improve my current situation. At the moment I want to contact a prof. to be my future supervisor and I don't know how to initiate. How to explain my current situation without making a bad impression. After all I'm leaving a very good school in favour of a hypothetically better one. Is it possible to start in a grad school from the point where I am leaving the previous one? Are they gonna accept my qualifying exam? Please help me with any advice for contacting a potential future advisor.

I am really interested in doing my final field placement for my msw in Ireland or Spain but do not really have any savings for that. Is it worth taking out extra loans for the experience? There are some scholarships available but I don't want to count on those... suggestions or personal experiences?

How do I come to terms with the idea that it would be better for me to leave graduate school? I've been wrestling with this idea since the second semester of my first year. Right now I am in my third semester after having decided that I would do my masters and then leave. Now I am really starting to regret my decision. I am very unhappy but the thought of stopping just short of one semester before getting my masters also makes me unhappy as I would be quitting. The problem is that I am completely and utterly lost and my knowledge of my themes of interest is rudimentary at best and not enough to write a good thesis unless I do yet another semester, and for a masters that is something I would never do. I think part of the problem is that I've already decided this is not for me and I am not going to continue in the program after I finish the masters (I already have a plan of action after May, or end of summer at the latest). Maybe I've just come to realize that it doesn't seem worth it for me to do it. At the same time, however, I don't want to just quit. I am unhappy but I also fear the thought of leaving graduate school and essentially giving up, being that I am only one semester away. I think at this point I do not care about even getting the grade, but if that is the case, is it even worth it to try?
