Did you ever know anyone who went to college for their M. R. S. degree?

Does a 2-year school count?  If so, yes I did.  Her marriage lasted 7 years.\n\nShe then spent several years kissing toads - finally one turned into a prince and she has been living happily for the past 10 years.

Recently, when I was talking to my Guidance Counselor at school, she asked what colleges I had been considering(because I go to a very prestigious high school) and when she did so, I very solemnly answered that I was not, in fact, considering college. She looked at me with a mixture of amusement and confusion and asked again, more seriously what I was considering(as if I had been joking). I responded then that I had thought a lot about it, and I could either go to and graduate from a college, get a decent job and salary, and then proceed to live a mediocre life with all the worries, etc. that come with it. I followed this statement with how instead, I'd rather not have to worry about money OR the stress of going to college and instead go into the pornography industry because then I'd make MUCH more than if I went to college, and also be able to fulfill all of my sexual desires as my JOB! I told an extremely shocked face that it doesn't get better than that for a living. There was an awkward pause in which I considered explaining that GAY porn stars make even more money than do regular and that they are not even gay, but the silence was then broken with a very serious "Anthony, listen..." as she took her glasses off and I prepared for a very long discussion about morals. . . .

I did when I was in high school and college (I lived at home in college to save money...But I don't recomend it). But after moving far away I can honestly say we get along great...It is actually quite amazing.

I am going for a double major in art education and physical science education at Temple University. \n\nIt will take me forever, but it is what I want. I plan on getting my masters and possibly my doctorate so I can create a unique curriculum that mixes the arts and sciences. (I'm pretty dorky for 18.)\n\nI am going in state, but I also have grants and scholarships and work study. (and a side job as a bartender helps.)

I started college in 1973 and didn't graduate till 1998. I went part time and changed majors a couple of times. I worked and raised a family and did all those life necessary things to get along in the world. I became a Registered Nurse in '98 and couldn't be prouder

No. Never to the extent of a Master's degree from a "brick and mortar" institution.\n\nEven accredited online degrees are worthless in the larger context of academia, because legitimate Master's degrees in the arts and sciences require close mentoring and guided research within the context of an active intellectual community. Online programs can only provide reading lists, examinations, and discussion groups, and are only able to focus on content or data. \n\nA real Master's degree from a "brick and mortar" institution is not merely about reading, taking tests, and discussing the reading with others. A real Master's degree focuses on theory and methodology. It requires a setting in which a student can take the first steps toward a certain level of competency in a subject area, guided by professors with expertise in that area, and engaged by peers with ongoing similar methodological and theoretical investigations.

I had a friend who attended State and loved the program.

I graduated from high school in 1987 and just went back to college two years ago.  I LOVE IT!  I needed time to grow and settle down before I went back to school.  I was very nervous, but the people at the college are great.  I am majoring in Criminal Justice.  I have always been interested in this field.  I have adult ADD so unless it is something interesting enough to hold my attention, I can't do it.  So far I have a 3.933 average and my lowest grade has been an A-.\n\nSo I say...GO FOR IT!!

Yes, I maintained my straight A's from 1st through 12th, the first quarter of college, and all the way through my master's program.\n\nKeep up the great work! :)

Yes, absolutely. I know many students who've got a bachlors degree in one subject and a master's in something else. I'm going to do the same. Best of luck to you. =>

I don't think they really do - at least not in science or psychology.  My undergraduate degree was from University of Oregon and I got into every grad school I applied to including Harvard, Yale, and Stanford.  i ended up going to Stanford for grad school (in neuroscience) and there were plenty of people from state schools.  I also have a friend who went to community college and then state school and then went to Cornell for grad school in plant sciences.\n\nI also served on the admissions committee for my program and that was not taken into account.  What matters a tremendous amount is your research experience - again for science or reserach based degreees.  They usually use grades and GREs for initial cuts so those need to be high enough to get your fooot in the door.  But then letters of reference and research experience take center stage.

Of course. Actually my cousin got a GED, went to community college and then went on to a university and graduated with a duel degree.

It depends on what you want to do.  I have a friend whose dad has at least 5 masters (personally, I would never do that-but to each his own!)

Yeah, a few people do. I used to be one of them, but I graduated from Terry Sanford in 1970 and haven't returned!
