A.S. in Electronics Technology
B.A. in Liberal Arts (w/a minor in business)
MBA in Marketing - in process, but hope to be done by Summer of 2012
I think it's unfortunate that many in this thread feel their degree is/was worthless (although you're certainly entitled to that opinion  ) However off all of my studies, I must say that the Electronics degree was the most pointless one. I could have learned all of that on my own with some good library books and apprenticeship. My BA has not translated into anything as far as improving my career. But I did learn, challenge myself, and improve my critical thinking and writing/research skills.

Political science/creative nonfiction writing. The latter has proven to be much more useful.

Almost BS Business Management
Fortunately for me, my years of experience have driven my salary to the same level as others in my company with a degree.
