After I had gotten my PhD in Computer Science, I realized what a waste of time that was. I was better off getting certifications in Microsoft, Sun, Cisco, CompTIA, Oracle, etc. The fact is, you never stop taking classes, even long after you graduate, so what's another 3 classes? Do you really want to graduate real soon given the present state of the job market?
I was working on graduate degrees in Psychology afterwards as I really didn't know what I wanted to do. I soon realized that wasn't going to do it for me either. Much of waht we're looking for is to be found outside of classes. What is success anyway?
