people who have multiple degrees

[newdegree]

I have 2 associate's, 1 bachelor's, 4 master's, one doctorate, and one post-graduate certificate and I am working on my second doctorate.
Honestly, at first, I just wanted a bachelor's degree but when I was able to get grants and scholarships for my first two master's degrees (criminal justice and Urban Affairs) I just completed them since I did not have to pay out of pocket. Then I found out about the new MPA program over at Excelsior College (now Excelsior University) which back then allowed 33 out of 36 transfer credits. I was able to transfer 27 credits and only had to complete 9 credits so I did the degree for fun. Skip over to the following year the VUL doctorate came around so the thought of completing a doctorate in a year was appealing along with the price tag of 15k so I did it and completed it. At around the same time, the 3k Hellenic American Univerity MBA came around and I doubled up on classes since it was cheap and I did not want to let the opportunity pass by.

Now the catch-22... I never used any of my degrees for my field. I work in the Law field so my degrees do not help me with what I do but it's more of an achievement and to keep my brain busy. Expense wise I have spent about 20k on degrees over 5 years which is not bad. I am always down to learn something new even if I don't use it as I never know when I will need that knowledge.
