I have a masters in Urban Developement. it was my minor...I just was not ready for the real world @ 21 so I did it just to stay in school.

... has your degree helped you enough to justify the time/cost of obtaining it?
I'm a big fan of learning, if for no other reason than simply being knowledgable... but it seems all too often that people bust their asses for a degree and end up with dick all to show for it aside from vellum in a frame. Or if you went to a cheap uni, a sheet of 24lb-weight paper in a frame.
I'm also surprised that people primed for the biotech industry are hanging out on here. I can't decide whether its because scientists by and large are woefully underpaid, or if it's because the long hours in the lab turn people to deviant lifestyles (and we all know that GFY is the ultimate destination of deviants!)
Im working on a degree right now but it aint no masters

my thoughts exactly.
what's the point in spending all that $$ on an MBA if you aren't going to make it work for you..
I started to take my mba in Business and then stopped short..wtf was I going to use it for?? I may go back and finish.
But seriously, why take a masters and not use it??

my PhD thesis is on "Resistance to Persuasion" ... I study what makes, or doesn't make, drug campaigns effective...
If this thesis wasn't just some pseudo-intellectual circlejerk aimed at getting past the review process, I'd be interested in reading it. Do you have it available online?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not casting aspersions on your work... I just don't want to waste any more time on poorly defended fill-work theses that are so full of flatulent nonsense that if set alight they wouldn't just burn, they'd explode.

I just finished my Masters last Tuesday (one week ago) I decided to do the two year program in a 12 weeks condensed course that they were offering for the first time. Little did I know I would be entering hell for the whole summer. There were very long days in the lab and now I need some time to decompress before I get a job. I will get s job though, and just keep my business on the side and have other people run it for me.

good add on
personally nope. I have my degree in pstchology with minor in computers (BCIS) the money was way too much and i almost done paying it off
I'll get a degree in finance, but to be honest I put 0 effort into school... I go to lectures and that is about it. If only they would teach me something USEFUL I might bother remembering it, but alas they never do!

I think you make a great point. In my case I do not plan on using my Masters in Political Science until much later in life. But I was turned down for two really great jobs at Universities last year because I did not have a Masters, the degree by the way does not need to be specific to any subject. So I decided to get it in something I am truely interested in and may end up using later in life instead of getting some BS that would not even interest me in the first place.
Not to mention all the people who say if your tried of the way things are going then get out and vote, do something about it, yadda yadda yadda, so I decided to get my ass educated in Political matters so I could take it a step further than simply voting.
Who knows, if Bush wins another term I could make a lot of money freelancing by writing Bush slamming articles for Liberal and Democratic news magazines.

Hmmm... what are they teaching you then, specifically? Please don't say "useless crap". Also, how far along are you?
I'd also be interested in what kind of dollars they were asking for this service.
In sales you will bring in more than any degree holder out there in the long run if you work at it.
I have seen too many friends that went for the "right" classes and wound up at the end of a few years not wanting to do what they went to be, also being in debt for loans on these studies.
Life is the best college courses you can take and the hours are whatever you want them to be.

GO OBAMBA!!!!!
Good job!
This assumes, of course, that you'll be allowed to write anti-governmental discourses if Bush wins...
I'm actually using mine... Scientific and Technical Communications.
When I picked it, I thought it was going to be about technical writing, communicating between the scientific communities and "the general public", etc.
Turned out to be the early form of web design!! I was learning on the Gopher/Telnet system and we learned html in notepad because editors like Dreamweaver and Frontpage didn't exist yet.
Too bad I couldn't have done my thesis/project on creating, building, and maintaining an adult internet business!!!

Make big money on your Domains! Why wait 40 days to get paid with the other guys? Parked.com pays the most for your traffic, and cuts checks twice a month!
Heh... there's a lot of peeps into sociology and psychology on GFY. Must be like a ant farm of neuroses and psychoses here.
I'm surprised more sociology/psychology theses aren't written based on the dynamics of pressure-cooker, compressed-time sandboxes like blogs, IRC channels, MUDs and the like. Millions of people are using these methods to form communities (albeit mostly virtual ones) nowadays... does academia lag so far behind that it still isn't on their radar, or perhaps are isolated from the mainstream due to study?

Good point
I'll write them by candle light late at night and have my friends sneak them out of my prision cell under the crust of fresh baked pies.
VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!!
But seriously you do have to wonder, it wouldn't be the first time a press or associater writer/reporter has been harassed and legally threatened by this administration for critizing them.
AIU and Pheonix Online, I wonder if those online schools are really that highly accredited as they say they are... i believe they're actually even more expensive than your average normal college is though.
