      thank god not in my country. How rude that is to show off.

      Really? Wow!

      True, it is a source of pride.

      However, in my opinion, it also suggests a level of competence of the bearer.

        Not sure where the certificate is these day, but I have a BSc in Applied Chemistry. Thought about going further, but then the need for money came in to play so that was that  ;D

          I have an MBA from the university of Phoenix but I rarely mention it. I find I get more respect from having a Bachlor's degree in Economics. I'd reccomend at the very least getting a bachlor's degree and not to bother with Economics as they really only care if you have a PHD otherwise it's virtually worthless. Communications is a good field of study that incorporates quite a bit of career paths so you'd do well to get a degree in that.

            Had a Diploma, then upgraded it to Bachelor in Computer. Used to be really proud about it, but not anymore. When people who don't have one can earn much higher than you, and even ends up in a higher position, that says a lot, right? Which is the reason why I'm not considering a Master degree.

            If I were given scholarship to take one abroad though, I'd gladly take it. Especially in other non-Computing major like Art, Music, Psychology, etc, or Experience-Based like you said. For the cultural and social experience, nothing more. Definitely won't be taking one in my home country, because the title no longer have 'good' reputations here. It's not prestigious anymore, and there's a notion that one can easily 'buy' said degree anyway.

              Have an MSc (Forensic Anthropology) myself, and am aiming to go down the doctoral root someday.

                Went to San Jose State College out of the Navy.  While i had done fairly well before, the huge pile of books i had to read was whelming and i fell badly behind, ending 1 1/2 years with F, D, D, C, C

                I received a lovely letter from the school saying, "Don't use any of our facilities."

                Went on, using my electronic talents to have a wonderful job at UC Berkeley as a laboratory repair technician.

                                  MD and Research degree.

                                  Well, sometimes when you study something for six to eight years straight (depending on the country), you might want to display it on your wall  😉

                                      Not sure where the certificate is these day…

                                      Same here. 😞

                                      Looking into replacements recently revealed:

                                      1. Costs $60.
                                      2. Associated official signatures are not current to the original diploma, instead being those of the current officials at the present time.
                                      3. Unsure of the exact name as it appears on the original means the replacement could end up bearing a different name from that of the original.
                                      4. Along an edge of the new document will be a (potentially unsightly) "replacement" notation.

                                      With all of that going against it, I'll definitely make a point to search diligently for the original before opting to settle for the replacement.

                                        Well, I have two BS degree. One is Bachelor of Science in Physics and the other is Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering. I earned my MS in medical physics in University of Santo Thomas and I'm currently working at a hospital near the campus where I earned my MS. I'm planning to take my PhD in biomedical physics but nah :laugh:
