What level of education do you have?

I want to further my education (I just have a bachelor degree) in data analytics.

The hard part is that I want to do it in-person and not online. A masters degree is so fricking expensive. The least expensive option is $18k but I don’t like the program as much.

I’m considering a $6k “certificate” option from a prestigious school. I don’t know if certificates are even looked at by HR.

What have you done in your career? Gotten that masters right away? Worked at it part time in your career? Doing just fine at your current education level?

Academically very little. Although I'm not that interested as I have educated myself through life and it's experiences and that has taught me so much more than any amount of academic's could teach me. I'm not dissing u or anyone for doing so BTW but I think the debt u receive from UNI 's are a massive con. U study like crazy get ur degree and lucky to work in MC Ds with years worth of debt for ur troubles.

@Thingschange4444 It really is a scam. And it's pushed from the kindergarten on. "Go to college go to college go to college!" Is all you hear as an option, like there's really no other way to make it, like it determines whether or not a person has a future. 😕

@Thingschange4444 @SW-User it’s more of a scam now. College used to be cheap up until the 2000’s. I graduated (‘97) with zero debt and only one sememster was paid with an inheritance.

It’s too expensive now and there are so many ways to learn for free.
