Master's degrees
 

Who has one (or many)?

Are you currently or recently worked in the field that pertained to your field of study?

Was it worth the time and money?

Does having a post-grad degree prevent you from working on other fields?

The top people where I work have MS or PhD degrees. They had BS degrees and the company saw their talent and paid for continuing education. The PhD people were given a pass upon hiring and have worked out. I can't think of anyone that came in with an MBA-ish degree that are worth a darn. They are weeded out quickly. I think you can get an MBA from a million places...

MBA from Northwestern - Kellogg School of Management

MBA people are the worst. They think their degree trumps common sense.

MBA

own my business.

Yes.

Not sure it's applicable.

:LOL:

You are so ****ing stupid:p

I have an MBA. I learned more in the MBA program than I did while doing my entire undergrad. It's definitely helped me immensely at work.

In terms of whether it will benefit you financially in the immediate sense, which a lot of people seem to want to know about, no. But I am sure it will help me in the long run.

FWIW, I was looking into sports administration such that I could into the NFL and be the next King Carl.

I have since seen the error in my ways as I haven't played a down of football since "Hey Ya" was a top song on the Billboard chart and my dad isn't a scout for the Rooney family.

I own my own small business. If I were devoid of common sense. It would be bad.

I did parts of three years working on a Masters in Journalism at Mizzou, but flamed out. Had to go to work full time because I ran out of money.

Yes, my master's degree prevents me from working in the fields. Though an outdoor job does sound great at times.

Sorry - I meant to answer all of this.

Yikes. I bailed out on second bachelors in journalism with only a semester left.

You don't conduct a lot of international business in the flatlands of Kansas?

Yeah, well my 80 year old mother keeps bugging me about "going back and finishing your masters."

Yeah, right.
That was 30 years ago, mom. Let it go.
