Is it worth getting a BA degree after getting a BS degree? - nomaduser - 12-23-2022
Hello guys,
I finished my BS degree.
I still have a ton of liberal arts credits.
I think I can quickly get a BA in Liberal Arts degree as well. Do you think it's worth getting a BA degree after a BS degree? Would there be any salary increase?
It won't take me more than maybe 6 months.
Thanks,

That would be a negative ROI and a lot of wasted time.

It could be worth getting another SUBJECT degree. But not a BALS.

Having "leftover" credit isn't really a thing. Because most schools (TESU included) requires that you get your 2nd degree by mostly taking courses in your major, and require NEW credit that you earn after your last degree was conferred.
So those credits you have won't be of much value to another degree.

It really depends on the degree... like BACS is great, but not BALS...
