Is degree / credential hoarding a psychosis?

[ladylearner]

I keep a “master resume” that I maintain to list all my training, courses, degrees, work experience, awards, contacts, instructors, dates, etc. It's huge and unusable as a real resume. My CV is way smaller at about 15 pages and is still way too big. When I apply for things (jobs and other certifications) I take my more professional looking CV and cut out any non-relevant info which is a ton.

I am working fulltime. I have no fancy name degrees. I like the Big 3 and like CC’s. I have four different job fields so I often leave out the other three career fields or add just one bullet statement. I am in my early 50's with three fixed retirements. I would go crazy saying home and watching TV. Fact, I do not watch TV (real time saver). I am now an empty-nester (huge time saver).hilarious I like training in a 4th field (my additional duty at work) and one that I could squeak out a 4th fixed retirement if I wanted too.

To answerer your question I would tailor any resume to the job/certification I am looking for.

I like to add my one AAS degree (real skill and focus) and leave out my other general CC AS degrees as they are not relevant and I have too many. I earned them as a byproduct of lifelong learning. I still like them but they are near useless in finding a job.

Very cool...thank you for sharing. I love MOOCs and if I hadn't started grad school a month after finishing my BA, I'd be doing that like crazy, especially now that you can take a few MOOCs as part of a specialization.
