Long since done school..got an Assoc. for Computer Learning Center, and Penn State...but I sure wouldnt mind going back to high school though..good times!!
I've been in your shoes, and the constant working does make you a bit more financially responsible, IMHO.Becca_007 said:
I'm working my Master's in Computer Tech, wireless device applications (think cell phone applications) at Purdue. IMHO, the Masters degree is easier than my Bachelors in ChemE was, but I've got a different perspective on life now, too.
Michigan State University Business/ Engineering Amum here :here:
Now looking into the MBA program, a possible Masters/ Doctorite or maybe law school.
Just not sure if I can bring myself to go back to school yet. Cause the next round is not gonna be hte same party the first round was! :cheers:

MBA would be a great fit with engineering if you're looking to management or project management. I suggest starting earlier rather than later, especially if you current company will cover a majority or all of your tuition and fees. I regret not having started three years sooner. Good luck!Ace said:

Been to college and done with it. Went to Dickinson Law, Fayettevile Univ., and Duke. I am in the Computer/IT/Techsupport/helping stupid ppl all day. Its not bad but I do not plan on being in this postition long. Moving up to the corporate level as soon as poss. If I had to I would go back for my MBA but only if I needed it.

If that is want you want to do...then do it. Don't do something that your not happy in. I bet Missy tells you this all the time. Be happy with what you want to do. We back you 100% on it. You know and I do as well you love motorcycles...get into it. Go for it and be happy. :dthumb:

Ive got a solid job here currently
take that for what its worth..and I do enjoy the field alot, and can always keep learning..im with you, dont plan on being in this support role forever..maybe one day when Missy is makin her million in her salon, I'll go for it...we'll see, but its definately something I'd love to do at some point.Got kicked out of Eastern Michigan University and I have been taking classes ever since. One of these days I will finish my damn degree. Then it is on to more degrees - once I get situated with my 3 house thing I am going to hit the books again. Things have been too damn hectic the last couple of years - before it was my job and 80 hours a week, etc. Lately it has been the ex and the kids, etc. Always something. But I plan on getting multiple degrees just to do it. I don't need a degree as I have got this far but I just want to do it to do it. Alot of morons actually think that piece of paper holds some weight or something. I have got to where I am today through hard work and more hard work. Would a degree have helped? Yeah helped me get to where I am faster so I have no clue what I am doing. No I started at the very bottom and worked my way up. I know what every single operation and part is in my business as I have touched them all and have done pretty much every job. But I don't think I will ever quit going to school - you can never stop learning.

you screwed if u do, ur screwed if u dont..if u get a degree, they'll call you overqualified, and if you dont, they hardly even look at you these days. :skep:
real world experience is the best way to boost ur standing with an employer, but these days, in my industry, u gotta have the freekin degrees on ur resume, now more than ever.

I'm going to Indiana State for finance. I was in the Air Force 7 years and the GI Bill is paying for my education, which is absolutely wonderful. I've got 2 1/2 semesters left. Can't wait to be done.

i'm going to try to get an internship for next summer. I currently work full time also while going full time to school too. My current job has pretty much nothing to do with my degree, but i have a feeling if i wanted to i could move up the ladder where i am at. i just don't think my current job is what i want to do for the rest of my life.
