    In most Canadian Provinces we are getting our post secondary free if you don't make too much money. Honestly post secondary should be free it is just a money making scam as is.

    I would have to live under a bridge. Where is income supposed to come from? All the schooling in the world isn't going to put a roof over my head while I'm there. Nor food in my belly. Never understood how people can do such a thing.

    At the moment, no, I wouldn't. Got a family to feed and the wife is studying.
    FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

    Been thinking about going for electronics. I love fucking around with electronics - fixing and upgrading them. Problem is I don't know what kind(s) of job that is other than electrician and dude who repairs appliances.

    No, never. For me, school was about learning how to pass tests, which is 100% useless i life. Teachers also seemed to know less about subject matter than most students.
    I got my degree because I finish what I start, but I never looked back.

    Fuck these old geezers that literally tell you that you have to do some stupid project/some retarded homework and dare to fucking judge you if you forget how to do some mathematic problem or smth.
    I mean like... what the fuck?
    Ppl have kids, money problems, relationship/family problems, try to go to work to have some money and they still they try to study, but some oh-so wannabe professor that has degree treats you like a little fuck because he is the "professor".

    And no, I was one of the better students and it is a really good university, but I hated almost every moment of it. When I started to work - and I do really important stuff - I realized how trivial, retarded and not needed my uni years were.
    your employer must be really delighted to have employee who doesnt give a single f... about quality of his assigments and about mistakes that he does .

Since I'm now at the top of my field and a PhD or DSW wouldn't advance me anywhere, I'm likely done with school.

    As for detachment, not really. I was already considered a non-traditional student at the time I started my BA. Most of the people I met were just as busy and focused as I was.
    PhD or Proffesor title is not nessesarly about job advancement but also about how others percive you .

    its quite a lot about personal developement and social status/perception.

    money is not everything in life.

    It seems to me the point would be...quitting a job in favor of an education that could earn you a career. And who wouldn't want that?

    that was one of the factors for me. i had pretty much capped out my previous job. i mean there was further advancements but at that point other jobs that are offered with degrees and experience have an exponential growth rather than a linear growth in pay.

    I did, I was working FT in a counselor in mental health and decided to go back and get my graduate degree. I went PT for a while and then classes/internship/grad job took up too much of my time so I quit. My husband still worked and we had money saved from me working as well. I really loved grad school actually and was both happy and sad to graduate.

    I actually have a much better attitude at my work, because they pay me for it, I enjoy what I do and I work on great projects with many wise and... actually "cool" people. That is just another world. But hey, judge me knowing nothing, it is popular nowadays, no?

    Never. I'm at least paid to deal with people where I'm working.

    In Belgium it is possible to get a bachlors degree ‘at a distance’ while working full time. It’s hard and you have to be really dedicated but that’s what I’m doing.
