thinkin bout goin and gettin some higher education. what are the pros/cons? besides cost/time

 

If your going to school for computers....dont. IMO. I got my associates in computer programming and im A+ certified and it took me over a year to find a steady job. I feel if your going for computers get yourself some certs and you can do rather well.

 

Donald, what do plan to do with the extra knowledge?


the main reason I plan to get an M.A. in English is because I want to be able to teach at a community college part-time. h:

 

don't bother it's all a lies. you don't increase your earning potential at all.

just keep your McD job donald and in 10 years you'll be the manager! :woot:

 

My school offers an intensive one year MBA program for upper grads...If my grades are good enough I might try and get in

 

In some fields, there is an upper limit to those without graduate degrees. For example, without a master's degree in social work, that field is basically closed to you.

 

background: i got a b.a. in political science and sociology

that said.. who knows what id do.

jae-i was into the comp stuff before.. not interested in it, other than as a hobby

rick-monopoly pieces :rick:

rb-one yr mba :eek3: sounds intents

 

ya.. i thought about being a social worker.

 

have you talked to anyone who has an MBA? I've talked to about 6 of them all at various different schools. one thing in common is that you don't learn that much, but it's pretty good on your resume.

one friend got recruited by V.S. and he just bought a house where he was living. So V.S. gave him fair market value for the house and relocated him. but this guy has about 6years of work experience in the corporate world so he was heavily recruited.

He did tell me that if he didn't have the MBA, he would have had to seek out employers.

Lastly the school you graduate from make a HUGE difference, so choose wisely.

 

ya.. i have a few friends that are w/an mba program.. ones at purdue, he's thinking about dropping out and going to law school. he says its a waste of time. and another at csudh (online mba) ..

if i were to goto an mba school, i probably wouldnt goto a top ranked program :dunno: .. i jus feel the urge to get some education h: w/o the work

maybe ill jus get a bunch of professional licenses.. i jus dont want to look back and think that i had the opportunity, but didnt act on it
