Anonymous Coward User ID: 1135349 United States 11/07/2010 09:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | And today's a huge day for me. I just submitted my last assignment to my professor and after 2 years of holding a full time job and going to school full time, I’m kind of lost. Quoting: AileanaVery anticlimactic, especially when I have to admit that I doubt this degree is going to help me in the future. It hasn't helped many people at all. Just goes to show that book smarts are no guarantee of common sense My masters degree has done me a little good. Now I'm called on to try and fix any and all computer problems my friends and family have. But no job. Not even a lousy minimum wage help desk job. |

Quoting: cmvi think the only degrees left in the USA that actually help people get good paying jobs is in the medical field. no its in finance, statistics and business law i didn't know when i started the degree the finances would be in the shitter, statistically people would be fucked and well the law didn't care.

The fact that you could manage all of that speaks to your character. You will have better opportunities than most new graduates. I wish you the best of luck. |

Quoting: ChawleeMy sister went back to school in her 40's,now she's the head nurse and office manager for a big time doctor here. Good for her!! That’s awesome. It was that 40 mark that really got me to go back. Now I can say I was 41 when I finished the course work and will be 42 at my graduation ceremony in June. I’ll be the oldest in the graduation class |
