Some people prefer independent study and choose to obtain a degree in the distance learning format. There are traditional schools who offer online degrees in addition to the classroom option. There are also online-only or correspondence schools which offer distance learning degrees. Would you view their respective degrees the same and why?

What is your degree major and how does it relate to your career?

Island Girl asked:


I have a degree in International Relations and a MA in International Commerce. I really want to pursue a career related to this field, particularly diplomacy, but the money isn’t so hot.

Another employment option (not really a career path) allows me to have a great life experience but doesn’t relate to my degrees. The pay is better too. It will still be good for my career eventually, but not so linearly related.

It’s self actualization versus material fulfilment.

How closely is your degree related to your career and how do you feel about that?
