advanced degrees

[ChicdeaC]

Do you have an advanced degree or are you working on one? Was surprised to see how many people are working on advanced degrees in my posrep. Maybe I shouldn't have been based on it being a Wake board, but it made me curious how much "extra" schooling we have...feel free to post your program, details etc. in comments

MS in biomechanical engineering. Went straight to it after college because I had no effing clue what I wanted to do.

JD

It has come in extremely handy as a stay at home dad.

 

[TownieDeac]

Someday, far far away. Down to the last 15k in undergrad loans, so that's nice.

 

[AnonymousDeac]

Most likely going to stay at my new job for 2 years, and then bolt off to get my MBA. Company will pay for school but I'll probably decide whether or not to take it based off the schools I get into.

working on a JD. Love everything about it. Wish the job market was a little bit better, but I'm confident that things will work out.

a little bit???

a little bit???

I try to stay optimistic about everything (except Buzz. Fuck Buzz). Obviously I wish the job market was significantly better, but I've still got a year in school for things to turn around. And when people ask me why I'm spending a fortune on a degree to enter an already saturated job market, I try to explain that the skill sets honed in law school (reading critically, writing clearly and concisely, etc.) are not limited to the practice of law. So that's why I'm optimistic, I guess.
