I am very pleased with my level of education, but there is still so much I'd like to learn.
What did you study? Which degree do you have? Was it the one you hoped for as a kid/young teenager?

I never thought I'd get a Master's. My plan was always medical school and I achieved that goal. I left after a few months, because I knew I couldn't do something that lacked creativity. That's when I thought about grad school and it was the best decision I've ever made. I loved school, but I am glad that I don't have to go back. I still take courses at schools around Chicago. Most recently, I finished a film-making course at Northwestern to enhance my storytelling abilities.

Ooooof Come AWN DegreeZzz

How old are you? Is it hard to finish a masters in the USA?

Biology sounds like it would take lots of energy to finish. Why not get a masters in that field? Over here to be a broadcast journalist you don't need a degree in that field. It's even better to
have another area of expertise

In the U.S., people say: The hardest thing about medical school is getting in. The hardest thing about grad school is getting out.

I knew I'd never use my science degrees, so it didn't matter. In publishing here, a lot of companies prefer a journalism background/training. It's becoming less important, because a lot of writers these days are terrible, have no training and will get paid in pennies just to get a byline. It does, however, qualify me to teach at a higher level and take on roles like Managing/Senior Editor, etc.

When people say education is an investment, it's no joke. In certain fields, degrees from recognized schools (not necessarily experience) can really open doors.

What for? What degree do you have?

I dropped out :letsmessfag: I was studying Neuroscience and I had to leave before I lost my damn mind :udontlookok: and I'm glad I did. I was in college since 15/16 and just over it and + it wasn't the major I wanted to do. I just did it cause there was pressure to get into the medical field and blah blah. You know how Africans are.

Yes. I'm very satisfied. A Phd would be overkill and unnecessary for me, unless I plan to go into academia. And I have no intention of doing so.

Over school and education completely.
ddddd I don't even know how I got through high school since I barely ever went :dead: and I went to 3 colleges because I couldn't be BOTHERED
but I feel like my psychology and health science degree is enough for what I want to do in the future.
Might do a part time counselling degree for work next year if I fucking feel like it
but the mere thought of ever having to do another exam or another assignment again :gorlonbloodclartfire:

I have a Bachelor's degree. Actually I recently graduated from undergrad over the summer lol. Currently 4 or 5 months into a paid internship in the field I went to school for. Not sure if I really need another degree at this point tbh. We'll see.
