2 Degrees + entering into an MBA program crew.

I have two businesses I built/run for full-time income. I attend Uni for fun and to stack up marketable and complementary degrees as a back-up strategy should my business portfolio stop earning and I would require employment.





As for debt, I have none because I leveraged grant and scholarship money for my first 2 degrees. For my masters I will doing an assistantship or if I cant land an assistantship, will again go for scholarships. There is ZERO reason for a person to go into student loan debt... none.

















Most people I know with multiple degrees are people who have worked all over, have lots of experience, are highly successful and use each of their degrees to get the jump on the competition. With each degree they add to their collection, the more farther reaching each individual degree becomes because the disciplines intersect and make that person extremely valuable and diverse to companies.

Don't some people actually make a living being s full time student from grants and scholarships? They pretty much get paid by the school to keep going to school because they raise the average

I honestly considered doing this my senior year. There's something alluring my school/class life - learning, still being sort of care-free, etc. I imagine that people who go to grad school but don't NEED TO are thinking similarly.

I vaguely envision myself like this

Has nothing to with unpreparedness or prolonging anything.. At least for me

Its because i want to do too much. Want to get the most out of life, so ive been in design taking computer programming and stuff

Or become an electrician and then study whatever the fukci want to. Also, because im curious

Also wont do it stupidly. Like if its really dumb for me to be in school i wont be, but i always kinda want to learn chit

The CEO of Norways Oil fund (worth $1.1 trillion) has three-four masters or some chit, and after his degrees he spent four years traveling before starting work. If you saw some guy spending all this time in school and traveling you'd think he doesn't know wtf hes doing

Four degrees to run a government pension fund, the real CEOs probably get together and make fun of him. "Did you hear that Yngve has four Masters degrees? And apparently he spent four years travelling before he even started working. LOL"

Professional Student.

I was in college for 9 years, deferring student loans. Accumulated around 270 credit hours, and around $11k total in student loans. That was back when I could pay for state university tuition out-of-pocket working full-time in the summer at min-wage ($4.25/hr). I also got some pell grant money.
I'm not blessed with riches, but I am rich with blessings.
Thank you, LORD, my God.

It's all they know. Seems like they're always way more pretentious than people who have moved on in life too.

You're 35 and work for a non-profit part time while chasing your fourth degree... what do you know about life?

Finishing my master's which will be my fourth degree.

I have a career so I'm going part time, but i have the time and money to go on my own dime. I enjoy learning so it's a master's in something I enjoy studying and writing about. Would go for my phd part time but thats not really a thing unfortunately.

If you're going on 6+ years constantly changing majors and continuing to take out loans to pay for it, that's just delaying the inevitable. Would ask why it took so long if I interviewed someone like that srs

School is safe for them, they've been doing it for 20+ years and they know what to expect. People are afraid of change.

This. I think those people like the feeling of getting a pat on the back to the point that limitless degrees and back patting becomes their reason for living.

If I have the capacity to understand/learn multiple fields at once why wouldn't I? Yolo boyos

Brb I'm going to school for essentially free.
Brb surrounded by a majority of women in the bubbles known as college towns.
Brb competition among men is nothing lol.
Brb learning is one of the highest pursuits of humankind.
Brb networking for years.

Yeah idk why I wouldn't want to stay in that environment throughout my 20s at all...

edit: There is something to be said about work experience, but why not both?

Agree with most posters ITT. A handful of my college acquaintances are still accumulating degrees and incredible debt with no real focus or plan for their lives. No doubt when they finish they will bitch incessantly about how evil the college system is and how debt needs to be forgiven...

Credential inflation. Back in the 90s I knew a woman who was one year short of high school who became a bank teller, was doing well and fast-tracked for management, she quit to go travelling. Five years later she's at uni doing science, and goes for some casual bank teller work - nope, no thanks, you need a Bachelor of Commerce.

Governments wanted to drop the unemployment figures so they stuck them all in university. Now you need a degree just to deposit cheques and change people's money.

Depends on what the PhD youre pursing is in. Some school will pay for your PhD program and pay you a stipend if youre interested in the physical sciences.

Lemme think, get up at a crazy hour for a commute I hate, to go to a job I hate, to be yelled at by a boss I hate.

Sleep in until 9 and spend 1/2 day surrounded by hot Sloodents in their prime and the rest of the day working out/drinking/fapping.

Hmm, tough call.

Of course I don't need multiple degrees as a back up plan, but i'm also not arrogant enough to think that having one or none will be sufficient in the future. As for the relevancy of degrees, thats beside the point. The degree is a social requisite that will get you in the door.





ITT it appears there is a subtle cope happening....









Real Talk: A person with 2 degrees and 5 years experience will always get the job over someone with 1 degree and equal experience. someone gunning for a senior management position with a B/A in Business Admin and another Psychology will always be chosen over some random with a B/A and some experience.

Getting an MBA with no work experience. Just fuking lmao, complete waste of money. And considering it's not even going to be a top 10 MBA. Just fuking lmao.
