    When you pick a degree based on what you think will pay out, versus what you love, or even what you are inclined towards…

        Many moons ago I was part of the first group for a new program to build up skills with html, css, etc. I was excited but then found the professor had trouble displaying an image on the first day and I had to show how to the class. I noped out. They clearly weren’t ready. Felt wrong that they were taking money.

      Honest question, how much of that was because you’d spent your BS building a foundation and the masters was built on that?

      Obviously, I’m making a few assumptions here, and I don’t even have a diploma so I’m not sure what a BS is, unless of course, you’ve got a masters in BS - in which case, there’s some great shitposting you could be doing :)

        It’s a Masters in civil engineering transportation and logistics, while my undergrad was Suppy Chain Management. I wrote a ton of papers and had crazy 3-6 hour tests with my undergrad. The Master work is similar to topics and more laid back. Two quarters in, and I’ve written maybe two three page papers. It’s probably more of a technical degree than if it was an academic masters that led to a doctoral program. Basically, $45k, read the books, and you get at least a B.
