Years/School
How many years do you want to advance your education? I always hear stuff like pretty soon a masters degree will be the new high school diploma, I feel like it's getting a bit ridiculous now. I mean I don't want to go to school for twenty years just for a decent paying job.

Re: Years/School
Arounds 4 years, or until I get a degree in teaching for history or computer technology. I want to be a cool teacher.

Re: Years/School
I mean by the time you finished all the degrees you wouldn't even need prior job experience because the school experience would be overkill... :s

Re: Years/School
It takes no college to sack groceries. I've been thinking of that, since I can still learn to code on the side. I'm just paying $3,000 a semester to teach myself anyways.

Re: Years/School
Two years left of an undergraduate degree with a Communication/English Major. I may attempt to attain a masters degree but that's only if I don't get some sort of adequete job post graduation.

Re: Years/School
Hmm ... well, I want to be sure I get my BA Hons/Btec National Diploma ... so that'll take 2 years. And I'm thinking another 2 years to get a Degree in either Games Design or Photography ... so yeah. 2 - 4 years, I don't wanna spend much more time then that in the UK if I don't have to.

Re: Years/School
4-6, maybe 8 years. Shit, I've got things to do in life, I don't wanna spend it all in school, even though I'll probably have more parties and get-togethers and stuff in college than in real life, depending on what I do when I get out.

Re: Years/School
Yeah, I just don't want the focus of education to be shifted from quality to quantity, my professor stated that the extra years in college are used to keep young people out of the job market because we honestly don't need so much people. At least with the advancement with technology, robotics, and what have you. And that seems to be true, also why jobs are getting lower and lower hours every few years.
