So (Besides Mr.Mendel) what are people doing with all the education in this thread.. 

 

I just had a discussion with my grandmother. She was pigeonholed into accounting her whole life and thinks us youngins ought to chase our dreams. God bless her. 

 

I've been looking at the academic job market. Even if the university throws 20k a year at me or any other grad student, we're looking at 2-3 years of lost opportunity cost in our current employment, a weak job market, and probably a drop in wages from our current jobs as either an adjunct or lab tech depending on the field.

 

The question is: is a doctorate worth it?

I would say that having 15 doctorates has increased my employability.

If not your need to be employed, considering the debt you most likely amassed over time.

If you pay to go to grad school, at least in the sciences, you're doing it wrong. They generally ought to give grad students stipends, since they do useful work for the university. (Although I don't know about liberal arts.) So that shouldn't really get people into major debt.

professional  degrees/doctorates = M.D., J.D., D.D.S, MBA, M.Ed, MSW, Ed.D., PsyD. = debt

academic degrees/doctorate = phd, M.A., M.S., = should be funded

First, RN and RMN (Mental Health)

 

Then post convent, BSc Hons in Psychology.

 

Post Grad Diploma in psychotherapy and groupwork.

 

Post Grad Diploma in Dance Movement Therapy.

 

Post Grad Diploma in Post Continuous and Adult Education (equal to an MA).

 

Lots of little qualifications, like Massage and Reflexology.

 

Basically, since I came out of the convent I've been a student of something or another.

I have no debt, 'cos I live in the UK and did all my major quals before they started charging for stuff.

I have to apologise for my null vote above, and further confess to a double life...

 

 

In keeping with my evolving profession in the Information sector, in order to keep bread on the table:

 - Bachelor of Computer Science & Technology (2006)

 - Master of Information Studies, double major in Librarianship & Records Management (concludes Nov 2014)

 

But the study that enables me to pursue my TRUE passion:

 - Master of Arts Theological Studies, by Research & Coursework (2010)

 - ...and the beginnings of a PhD in Theology (Scripture) in progress. Research proposal about 90% complete; top-notch supervisor      secured; in-principle agreement from university pending successful presentation of proposal. Hoping to commence the body of          research mid-2015 and hoping for completion by 2021, as I will be working as a librarian to support myself whilst I study (until the        university can offer teaching work, which will not be the case in the very beginning).

 

 

In my defence, this is NOT the same as being a professional student - I'm working for my living, and juggling the study on top of that is definitely challenging!! ;-)
