I have a BS in Computer Info Systems and a MA Organizational Leadership.
For CIS, it works for my job in the Army - glad I did it.
For the MAOL - as an officer, it makes you see leadership in a different light - totally worth it.

No regrets at all.

I have a degree in Engineering and I dont regret it even though I don't see myself working in engineering in the next few years.

The skills I learned in engineering aren't applicable anywhere else really but the worth ethic it gave me and the ability to look at the world objectively and solve problems is :ohlawd: status.


It gave me that extra edge in everything in life that I have over people who took easy degrees.

Why you don't see yourself working in engineering in the next few years?

Which engineering degree did you get?

Mechanical

Engineering is cool but I just dont see myself slaving away at a company, having them use my mind/talent and then firing me and getting someone new/cheap after a few years which is what usually happens. I majored in engineering because I didnt know what I wanted to do in life and because I was afraid to be a boss/entrepreneur/salesmen. I just wanted to go to a job and get paid. I want more from my life. I mean eventually i may still be in engineering but on the business side, not on the technical side. And on some real shyt, I was a B and C student lol. Did get a few As here and there.

My ol' dumb ass came in and picked chemical because the schools around here don't have specialized Petroleum engineering majors and :whew:. Toughest shyt I've ever done in my life, but 1 more year breh.....just 1 more year :noah:

Well, my first degree was kind of a stepping stone. I don't regret it, but I'm not using it now. I chose to change careers to a more stable career path, as in more job opportunities. IT was the way to go. When I was unemployed after getting laid off, I saw so many programming/computer jobs online and in newspapers, but the business management jobs were few and the pay was awful. IT is not exciting or any more exciting that business management, but the pay is way better.
