[Jonah Hill poster]

I actually graduated with a BFA in communications & media production.
I still didn’t think you could get a BFA in that, but it’s whatever.

Anyway, I only had a few jobs prior and after I received my degree, and the last one I had was working in a Bloomingdales store in the mall. Now I’m contemplating going to get a graduate degree or get a certificate in something in the tech industry.

[I'm The Crab Man]

I majored in communications and now work in advertising.

Is getting a degree in Communications worth it? I'm starting Uni next year and I've been heavily considering studying Communications and entering something related to said field.

[MerriedxReldnahc]

AA in Studio Art, now I work at a skatepark snackbar and occasionally make band posters for people.
I also have an AA in "you took a lot of art and history classes so here's this other useless degree not necissarily related to either". I was supposed to get a AA in Art History but my school done derped or something. Almost went for a history degree as well since I took so many classes and even got a scholarship award from the history department, but I needed a few more classes that were held at weird times and kind of wanted to be done with school forever.

[Picklechu]

BA in history and political science, MA in history, starting a PhD in history in August. I currently work in public policy, and did political consulting for a few years. I arguably need (more like "need" really) my degrees for my current job, but for consulting, they were completely unnecessary. To be fair, I didn't make enough from that to actually live until the 2018 cycle, and that burnt me the hell out and I don't do much in that area anymore.

I mostly just want to force people to call me "Dr. Picklechu" and be a huge douche if anyone calls me "mister."

[Queen Elizabeth II]

B.A Philosophy
M.Div (Master of Divinity)
M.A Archival Science.
I'm one month away from finalising my PhD in Religious Studies.
I have other degrees, but those are my main line of professional references.

I was until a few months ago a manager in human resources for a large international company. I've recently been given pre-payment by a couple of publishers to go ahead with a few projects so that's now my thing.

I've secured a teaching position within the university for a few months after finishing my doctorate; to give me time to finish the books.

I've never heard of an M.Div what does that cover?

M.Divs are ministry degrees. They're usually for ordained priests (which I was) but some laymen in teaching roles such as apologists occasionally have them too. It covers the same ground as a M.A theology but the extra time required also covers teaching, pastoral care, ritual, sermons and the more practical sides of leading a congregation.

They're more common in Catholic, Orthodox and Mainline Protestantism than other denominations. who tend to just have graduate degrees if anything.

So you’re Father Fagatron, eh?

So you’re Father Fagatron, eh?

By their rules yes. I've never been defrocked and Catholics believe that receiving Holy Orders (Priestly Ordination) literally marks the soul. That it's impossible to stop being a priest though the Catholic Church itself might forbid individual clerics to offer mass or the sacraments.

In reality? Nobody has called me father for just shy of six years. That said Catholics are still required to believe as a matter of faith that men like me are still able to turn bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ and that I can direct the supernatural forces capable of absolving sins. That said I've not said those particular magic words since leaving.
