I love learning and do not get me wrong I loved college. The classes were great and I had awesome professors. I worked my butt off to achieve a 4.0 in my major and I could not be happier.

Graduating school I was confident I could use my bachelors in sociology and communications to get a decent entry level job I like. That is when I realized that a masters degree has now become the new bachelors, and it sucks.

Do I think students should further their education for certain jobs? Absolutetly. Being a dentist or surgeon will be a TON of education. But how much education does one really need to succeed?

I have a friend who holds a bachelors and masters in psychology and she still struggles to find entry level work. She is either over qualified or under experienced. She found a job that does not even reach her potential. So what was the point of getting a masters? Can she just use experience from the job she is in to move up in her career without the masters mattering?

I have worked numerous jobs from retail, to camps, to restaurants, to television companies and many volunteer opportunities from dancing, to disability services, to writing. I can not even put in my resume for a say a 'Student Coordinator' position or an entry level desk job without needing a masters.

What is the point of my experiences then if no one gives me a shot? Why do I need a piece of paper telling me I can do things? Why can't someone just give me a decent chance? Trust me, I am not planning on directing a film here but to even run a dance program per say at a college you need a masters. My 15+ years of dancing is just not enough.

So for me I am conflicted. Again I am all about higher education learning but when is enough enough? I just applied for a masters in higher education and I will see if I will pursue it but as of right now, too much education is making me go a little crazy.

Maybe one day I will land my dream job without the masters, who knows.
