For every new initiative we dream up, 2 days later she has a timeline for how it will go, who will do what, when things are due, draft agenda and possible vendors and venues. I remember when we interviewed her I was thinking "why do we need an MBA?" But Damn, she's just amazing at taking charge of a dreamy concept and firming it up into a solid deliverable.
I only have one Master's degree and I'm good with that.

"Biggest fear in life is holding babies. Their so fragile, if you drop them you can ruin their entire life.
When a baby is looking at me and no one else is, I like to make sad faces to get the baby to cry and no one knows why it's crying. If they are young enough they will mimic other peoples emotions so if you act sad they will get sad." -captiontom

Being a student is the GOAT life.
brb surrounded by peers your own age
brb constant cognitive stimulation every day
brb all you have to do is sleep, eat, and learn
Going to miss it when I graduate.
As far as multiple degrees, I'm not sure. I'm going to take a small break between undergraduate and graduate school. I've thought about pursuing a second degree just for fun, maybe something in my interests (social science).

Life revolving around studying for an exam when I can be out making money and making financial gains. The choice is too easy, not sure why some people want to be on that student mode 24/7. Time is of the essence

At my school, I know way too many 22-23+ students taking 6 years to get just their first B.S. or B.A. degree. Some are older like 28 or even 30, etc.
I'm thankful I was able to finish mine up in 4 years (still had to take courses over 2 summers) even with changing majors, but I honestly feel so burned out already. But I'll go back if I don't land a decent job in the area I suppose. However, one thing that surprises me ITT is if miscers are getting 2 or more B.S. or B.A. degrees? I thought you should not go for same level degrees? Like if I got a B.S., I should then get a Masters. Afterwards, I should get a PhD. But not like 2 of the same degrees or am I missing something here?

The cream of the crop rise to the top in their industries regardless, lol @ having one not being enough. As long as you have that requisite to get in the door, reputation and performance within your industry are what matter and are what senior management hiring decisions are based on. Otherwise the executive teams of all the major, successful companies would be filled with PhDs and people with four+ degrees, but they're not

They are safe there and know what is expected or not expected of them. They are surrounded by like thinkers.

Some people hang out at universities for years, 10+ years even, srs. First its a degree, then a masters, then a study paper, then helping out with the university etc. etc. and it goes on. I saw people like this at my uni. These folk simply don't want to work and have become acclimatized to the security of being a university student supported by welfare.

many people do a major/minor or dual major for multiple reasons, especially in very competitive six figure fields where companies look at what exactly your background offers. someone who has a business and psychology or philosophy degrees will 9 times out of 10 get the position over someone who has just a business degree when both apply for the same job. dual majors also show that you have a multitude of skillsets that can enhance the company's overhead/profit in some way, maybe your dual training makes you a much more efficient problem solver and out-of-the-box thinker (which is why people who have a secondary philosophy degree can be so desirable), or you're better at managing people (the psychology degree might show employers you understand how the human psyche works, so you're more likely to be a better manager).
there's also a lot of positions that require continual education to be competitive, like fitness trainers, doctors, and teachers. my mom is a teacher and in her 60s and she still takes college courses so that she can move over what teachers call a "column" to increase their overall pay and retirement benefits.
then there are the people who just like going to school. honestly, if you have a comfortable enough life where that is an option, i don't see why you shouldn't do it. learning everything you can about anything you can is always personally/spiritually fulfilling.

The person with more real world experience will get the job every time because they can prove via reference that they can perform in the real world. A dude who is more qualified on paper has no credibility although it would seem like he has because of his degrees.

a lot of people that I know who stay in college to get one degree after another are mostly doing it cuz they want to work at the college or work abroad but want more on their resume so as to have a better chance to get hired at a high-paying job, instead of working their way through promotions for years.
funny thing is, I know a person who never spent a single day in the workforce, stayed in college for 15 years, got 4 degrees in 4 different fields in music and she isn't getting hired for the jobs she wants cuz she needs experience, and she doesn't want to work at lower paying jobs she's overqualified for cuz "I have 4 degrees, I should have a better standard". but since mommy and daddy are paying for everything and she can leech off of them for a while, she's got no real complaints.

lmao i thought i was in school for too damn long doing undergrad engineering + business minor + grad engineering degree in 6 years. chit gets old and all of your original friends have moved on and are working with good jobs (or dropped out and didnt make it) and now you are the "old" dude amongst all the 19 year olds. IDK how people do it in their late 20s+30s. I get it if you are going back to school later in life but those people are usually serious and trying to get done ASAP because mom and dad aint paying.
