what is the highest academic degree you want?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley
1

<p>pretty straightforward.</p>

<p>are you going to get an MBA? MFA? an MD? Ph.D?
or are you going to stop after graduating from Cal with a bachelor's degree?</p>

<p>bonus Q: how old do you think you will be when you'd be completely "done" with formal schooling?</p>

2

<p>Dds, 28/29?</p>

3

<p>Masters only</p>

4

<p>I used to think about the fifth year program for MS degree. Looking at my GPA so far, I’m better off just graduating.</p>

5

<p>A BS and MS in EECS & then an MBA in Finance from Harvard!</p>

6

<p>MD or MPH if the former does not work out</p>

<p>29/30</p>

7

<p>PhD, if all goes as planned.</p>

<p>27ish?</p>

8

<p>PhD.</p>

<p>Hopefully before I’m 30. Depends on funding, life stuff, etc.</p>

9

<p>PhD before 25, and maybe pursuing either another one in a different field or getting an MBA. Haven’t really decided what to do after my PhD.</p>

10

<p>Wow! I’m surprised! And I love this thread by the way because I’ve been wondering for so long. A lot of people I talk to are basically done after their bachelor’s. like 85% of them. </p>

<p>For me, I want to get the highest I can. I’m not sure what that is yet. but Ph. D probably</p>

11

<p>why does everyone want phds? is everyone a hardcore academic here? lols</p>

12

<p>I want an MD, but if things don’t work out, I want to get an MFT or something similar to for counseling. If I like it enough, I might want a PhD in counseling psych, but that’s still far down the line.</p>

13

<p>the only reason i’d get a phd is for the badass graduation robe with the felt-striped sleeves, the cool hood, and the little hat thing…</p>

14

<p>PhD, probably around 28 years old (depending on how long the program is)</p>

15

<p>MBA and be graduated by the time im 31/32ish? If I don’t get into a top 25 program, then stick with my Bachelors.</p>

16

<p>I want a phD cus it sounds smart and you get more respect lol just like going to berkeley, this PRESTIGIOUS university, gains u respect : D</p>

<p>back where i come from, everyone’s a low life.</p>

17

<p>I’m done after my BA hopefully going straight into politics!</p>

18

<p>Kind of want an MD/PhD, but that almost seems overly ambitious…not to mention a huge committment as well.</p>

19

<p>I want to be done with schooling at 24. Wow, everyone wants PhDs. Hope you guys don’t burn out.</p>

20

<p>PhD, hopefully in the fall after getting my BA…that’ll put me
Around 33-34.</p>
