I received my diploma for my 20th degree

[sanantone]

I forgot to post an "I'm done" thread after receiving my diploma from TESU. I received it a few days ago and didn't want to post anything until I knew for sure that I graduated. If you don't know already, this is my 20th degree. My first degree was in rocket science, my second degree was in medieval literature, and my third degree was in pumpkin carving. The other degrees aren't even worth mentioning after pumpkin carving. I mean, how do you top that? 













I earned the BSBA in CIS from TESU. I had been working on the business degree off and on since I graduated with my first associate's and bachelor's. In total, I've earned four undergraduate degrees from TESU. People look at my resume and think I've spent an inordinate amount of time in school, but I haven't. I hardly took any college classes for my second associate's or second bachelor's. Cumulatively, I spent about as much time and money earning these four degrees as someone would on one bachelor's degree. If it weren't for those two for-profits I attended a long time ago, I would have spent a lot less than a typical student spends on one bachelor's degree. My master's program took a little over a year, and I finished all but one of my doctoral courses in about two years. When I had the chance last year, I took my last elective. The rest of the time I've been procrastinating on my dissertation. So, I laugh when people say that I love school. I only spent about two years in an actual classroom. That doesn't mean I don't spend a lot of time learning. I'm always learning because I'm always reading or watching something educational.

Congrats! I'm happy you found your true calling in the Pumpkin Carving field, of course. I look forward to your dissertation for your Applied Pumpkin Carving PhD degree, once that throw away CJ degree is out of the way.

There are definitely more opportunities in teaching pumpkin carving. I don't know why chose to earn a PhD in CJ instead. Halloween is coming soon, and my bachelor's in pumpkin carving is not enough to apply to all these openings I've been seeing.

Congratulations....I think...

You have been very productive.  That is very neat!  I am glad you are also rewarded for all your academic work.  

Degree collecting might turn into an addiction for you as you are darn good at this. 

Congratulations!

Whilst I was laughing at the humor, I really was thinking: How many degrees do you actually have?

Not the OP, but I am definitely considering the advanced degree program in degree collecting, after I finish the prerequisites

TxState - PhD CJ (ABD)
Angelo - Master of Security Studies (finished in 14 months and under $11k) & Grad Cert Terrorism
TESC - BA Soc Sci, AAS ESST, ASNSM in Bio, BSBA CIS

Congrats! Those degrees look good on you! I think the ones from TESU are very good choices.
AAS in Environmental Safety and Security Tech, ASNSM Biology, BA SS (I assume in CJ?), and BSBA CIS!
How much did that Grad Cert in Terrorism cost you? Was it included with the cost of the Masters?

I used a variety of courses for my social science degree, but most were psychology. Only a few of my CJ courses counted as social sciences.

I unintentionally earned the graduate certificate on the way to earning my master's. In order to finish as fast as I wanted to, I had to take the couple of electives being offered one summer even though I had no interest in those courses. I just happened to meet all the requirements for a certificate, and it cost me nothing to apply for graduation.

What courses did you use to complete the CIS area of study? How was the CSU programming course/exam?
