"Oh don't do a masters in XX, it's useless. Get an MBA."
Funny thing is MBA along with IT is like the most saturated thing there is. No scarcity whatsoever for either.
The biggest culprits of this by the way are in finance, lawyers, or doctors. Also foreigners/minorities tend to have that narrow minded view in terms of higher education.
Like when ze wife talks to her family members about her studying (architecture) they're incredulous, and often at family gatherings there'll be subtle hints being given that she should be doing HR or Business Administration. Heh.
I beleive study what you LIKE, and in addition to it find some sort of comparative advantage for which there might be some demand. That's the best advise I got so far which makes sense.

Roger that... or hell, don't even go to cowledge, if you want to do something trade related (people dount realize how much mechanics, HVAC, plumbers, etc pull down).
FWIW, most people also don't realize how in demand architects still are....many many aspects of the art, especially with the "green buildings" movement..

As I age I realize more how important it is to find a career in something you enjoy. Of course, if I were broke(r) I might say something else.
BTW: My bro has his masters in r-k-texture, everything was going fine upto a year ago. KERBLAM!

...which is why big, beautiful buildings in places like Detroit will continue to be abandoned.

And as an added plus, they don't have to return phone calls, keep appointments, or do any of the other things professionals have to do!

I actually *did* study what I liked and what I was good at....and it's worked out. Of course, at the time, my dad was nagging at me to get a "real" degree rather than English/Art History. I wish he was still alive so he could see how that turned out. ;-)

Most lawyers I know are in my age range and they all make good money but dream about not being lawyers. Some of them left big firms and went to little firms, some started their own practices and some quit lawyering altogether. All of the ones that changed away have spouses with high paying jobs to support their "dropout". No lawyers my age are snobby about their degree.

WTF? I can't believe that extended family wouldn't support her wanting to be an architect. HR is a really brane dead job.

If you get your degrees from reputable institutions, they still have value.

You're right, you do get paid. My peers (age range 26-32) getting out of law school are driving awesome cars and living in condos in great neighborhoods.
However, most lawyers I know of have 60 hour work weeks minimum.

It's not mean spirited. They just think certain things are "useless" and that why don't you get a "safe degree, graduate, get a good guaranteed job, etc etc".

Give them time. If my sample size is any kind of good measure, when they reach about 45 they will burn out.

Are you talking all degrees (Law School, Medical Degrees, MBA, Sciences, Arts & Social Sciences) or just the lesser known degrees?

I tell kids to study what they like...they can find a way to make money at it.
