It's a real shame we can't test out of a Master's degree too. Wouldn't that be cool?

I honestly don't think any of us should EVER stop learning. It's good for the mind and healthy for the soul. Of course, once we have graduated, it would no longer be about passing or failing an exam...it would be purely about the learning!

There is always the option to get another BS degree. You may want to find other things to study that might be more pertinent to your career. Maybe microsoft office such as excel, word or powerpoint. I'm taking AutoCad online at the state of Georgia's expense. How about Lean and Six Sigma courses. Also check out the site for college lectures. i have a boat load of them and i used to listen to them on my 30 minute commute. They are great.

I love to learn also. I plan on studying things that I've wanted to study for a long time, when I finis the degree. I would like to study more theology, philosophy and again, CAD. I'd love to get a Masters in Theology but it wouldn't help me in the Manufacturing field.

When I get done, I plan on:

1. SMILE and just look at it for a bit
2. Taking a break from school (i.e. RELAX)
3. Like many others, use my new acquired diploma to further my career (Navy OCS)

Best of luck to everyone!

I keep thinking things like, "I'm going to clean out my closet as soon as I finish my degree" or "I'm going to do some landscaping in the backyard as soon as I finish my degree" or "I'm so going to spend the day at the spa as soon as I finish my degree."

The key phrase being "as soon as I finish my degree..."

I think what that really means is I won't be slowing down anytime soon! I'll definitely ask for a raise and update my resume on monster. I'll spend more time teaching classes.

And most importantly, I'll go back to tucking my kid in every night (it's a half-hour ordeal, but it's so sweet!).
