Why Do I have to Get a Stinking Masters!!?!?
OK so I know I should be all about the pursuit of higher education, but I am not. I am feeling almost forced to go back to school. I mean I spent four years getting a B.S. Why is that not enough. I'm looking for new jobs and most of the ones that are paying any kind of decent money you need a masters degree. Remember the days when finishing high school was " doing something"... Oh those were the days. Back then I could have been the pick of the litter. Now forget it everybody has a derree in something or another. I long for the days were all you had to do is know how to read and you could teach a class full of young people.
Maybe I don't want to go that far back! But darnit I feel like all my hard work has gotten me is enough education to do the same exact job that 5 years ago you didn't even have to have a GED to get, and I'm not being funny. I mean what has changed in those 5 Years? In another 5 years are we going to have to have PhD to do the job I have now. Which I honestly believe they could train chimps to do.
So I guess t keep up with this continuously changing society I have to get a master.
Still it kinda sucks

I had to come read your blog after the nice post you left at mine. Man, do I hear ya. I hope you keep posting as I am finding out more about myself as I blog and more about the people I'm meeting along the way.
My wife was in the same boat when she finsihed college. Every job she applied for that was inline with her major rejected her because she didn't have a masters. She ended up going into banking (she has a degree in psychology) now she is a stay at home mom.
I never did anything with my degree. I studied English literature and now I design software systems. The point is you never know where you will end up.
