people who have multiple degrees

[ifomonay]

For me, only one bachelor's, four master's, and one Ph.D. I plan on doing two more masters, Statistics at Purdue, then Data Science (leaning towards the $25k program at BU), then I'm done. My degrees are two in engineering, two in CS, and two in management. The engineering degrees are absolutely by far the most helpful. I think it's those that keep getting me the jobs. The two degrees in management were the most useless. Those didn't help me at all. The Ph.D. isn't helping because it's from a non-flagship state school. My friend (jokingly) tells me that I did my Ph.D. at "Podunk U." lol. I read that there are seven new Ph.D. grads for every new tenure track position. Plus I work in the industry. Fixing bugs and releasing products are their priority. They don't need researchers in product development. They need engineers or devs who can build stuff. I think a Ph.D. will help in the future when I get older and get pushed out of the industry. I can retire to the boonies somewhere and teach part-time.
About whether too many degrees are overkill, I do think some recruiters view it that way. I leave the management degrees off my resume since I found them the least helpful for tech jobs.
