I took English for four years and then dropped out. I need to complete two semesters to graduate. I took English because writing is my passion and one of my strong points. I dropped out because college is expensive as fuck and I was outta money i mean completely. Not sure if Im gonna go back because even if I finish my BA you can't do much with an English degree except be a teacher or go for your Masters or go to Law School. I respect teachers but I would feel like a failure in life if I became a teacher because I got issues with the school system. I have a decent job though.
Your Degree and Job....
- Thread starter Likwid
- Start date
I just transfered to fresno state to get a degree in animal science specializing in beef production and/or pre-vet, then i want to transfer to cal poly SLO and get a masters and apply to the vet school in uc davis and if i dont get in prolly teach and work for the family cattle raising business, which i hope to run one day.
I'm almost done getting my Associates Degree in Administration of Justice. I don't want to waste my time getting a BA, so I said fuck it, imma get my AS and try to find a job in this field after. I think it's the more realistic option, just getting the Associates. I'm still not 100% sure though if I want to enter the criminal justice field, I'm kind of thinking of being a Probabtion officer, correctional officer or get into a job at the border such as Customs. To be honest though, even if I don't get a job in the criminal justice field, I simply just want the degree because it can help with other jobs. BA and higher is cool, but I think you REALLY have to know what you truely want to do or else your just going to end up wasting your time and not finding a job that goes with your degree. Atleast with an Associates, it's not that big of a deal if you don't find a job in the degree you chose, but not finding a job that goes with your BA, MA,etc..., I would feel like shit, all that work for nothing, back to the beginning. I see more flexibility in the Associates degree, less riskier, cheaper, less time studying.
The best job though is to work for yourself. Fuck bosses, be your own boss. Work when you want. Think about it though, Americans work way too much, too bad society forces us to work so much. Wish it could just be more chill, 4-6 hours a day. I think families would be better off, parents there to raise the kids, less stress, more time to do leisure activities,etc... Of course that wouldn't work though because the way our economy is.

business degree (Bachelors) is fairly common, and wont get you to the top unless your bachelors came from Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc.....
business degree (MBA) companies are dying to hire, and even though more people are getting them these days, they are still considered rare.....You will make it to the top with an MBA.
MBA + job experience + time = 150-200K
Gotta step it up.

^^^in some fields, yes.........my buddy only got his aa, and he works in a wharehouse, making as much as me.....
The medicial field as well, my buddy went through an 18 month course on how to operate a certain piece of machinery, and he is making MORE than me, for right now anyway.
we are in two completely different field JL, and there are field where you dont need a masters, or even a bachelors to do well......
My thoughts on it though, especially in the Business world, i dont ever want to hit a ceiling. I dont want to get denied a promotion because i am missing that piece of paper. $ is good now, but i look at the future, and what kind of $ will I be making 10 years from now, and what can I do to put myself in that position.
I congradulate you on your success, and pursuit of education.

I'm going back to school in the spring bc what i went to school for is such a limited field that there is no real work so I'm in collections now because is pays pretty well. In the spring i plan on quitting that job finding something with a lesser stress factor and better hous and going back to school full time. I figure i can swing it since moving to Phoenix I dont have a social life lol, i figure i can cash in on my GI bill and work full time and take more money in than i am now. The question I ask myself is what to go to school for? Its hard to pick one thing but i need to act fast.
Yup, I know someone who lost an executive promotion to another candidate simply because the candidate had an MBA and my friend didn't. The other candidate told my friend that my friend was more qualified because of his experience in the field and that he should have gotten the promotion.
I'll pursue my MBA when I'm in my 30's, gained 5+ years of great experience, and my company will pay for my education. As of right now, no more heavy studying and midterms is all I care about haha.

i work for the government. i'll leave out what i do, because i dont like stupid questions. i'm in between a illustration major. my job will give me something like 1200-1400 a semester to go to school, so i'm probably going to holla at the president and look into that.
only thing that stopped me from doing that already is i didnt know if i was going to be moving or no..
as far as the 401k comment...its only retirement money if you wait that long...all i know is i have 1,600 dollars saved in an account i would have never saved..and i have three seperate personal bankers..
if i decided next quarter im not fucking with my 401k plans then i can have it, point is to gain interest though.

i am getting my BA in sociology with a minor in criminal justice currently. i have no real clue what i want to do but i plan on going to more school, i will get a masters in something. my only beef with college is that if you dont know what you want to do there is not always some very helpful people to talk to. but i enjoy learning new things and plan to continue doing so. i want to make good money but i dont want to dread going to work like so many people do.
