MRS - CBS video

If I married someone who said to me "Baby you never have to work again," would I be sad? No. BUT I did not go to college just to meet a man. Yes I joke about the random stuff I have to do at my job which I have a masters for, but at the end of the day I make more money than those without one, I paid off my undergrad loans and I know that if I had to I could support a family, on my own - thank you very much.

That being said, the dancing in this video is pretty funny and I guess if you really have the time and don't mind the extra debt, an MBA program may not be a bad way to meet a guy. Alternatively I recommend finding out where those boys drink on Fridays and simply roll in and pick one out - who needs to enroll?

MRS video from Columbia Business School

Jessica, La Jolla CA, BA

Me: Ugh it's so loud in my apartment, it sucks.
Jess: You need some noise-canceling head phones, duh.
Me: You're so smart. Is that why you got a college degree?

Sarah, Kutztown PA, BA

Did I really get a degree to be told "Congratulations on passing cashier training. It's really difficult" at a national retail store?

Jo Beth, Pittsburgh PA, BS and CPA

In Slovakia for 3 weeks "working," did I really get a degree to count shots of Borovicka and drink til dawn? Yes, yes I did.

Laura, Downingtown PA, MPA

My email said "if programs are ongoing, please note frequency" and this is what I received: I guess technically they noted "frequency," but apparently I need a third degree to explain things to simple people.

Sara, West Chester PA, BA

Did I really get a degree to make coffee while creepy dudes hit on me while using the free wireless?

Bradford, Lawton OK, BFA

Did I really get an arts degree to now spend my time blowing shit up in the Army? Yep, that worked out well!

Melissa, Washington DC, BS

Did I really get a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice to become police officer to be called a "Guard"??? No, i did not thank-you!

Bethany, West Chester PA, MSW

This week I was working with a kiddo who sneezed and her snot was everywhere. So I took the opportunity to teach how how to blow her nose without getting germs everywhere and then use hand sanitizer. Then I thought, I got a masters degree for this?!

Sara, Fort Dodge IA, M.Div.

Did I really get a Masters degree so that people could compliment me on my "cute shoes" at the end of my sermon?

Funny video - not using Masters Degree

I love watching this video - at the end she says "sometimes I pump myself up by crying over my masters degree" ROTFL.

Nancy, Washington DC, BA

Did I really get a bachelors degree to have my boss hand me her subway order and $10 and say "keep the change"?

Me, Philadelphia PA, MA

Seriously did I get a Masters degree to explain why you shouldn't share your roommate's toothbrush to an 18 year old college freshman???

Welcome to Seriously - Did I get a Degree for This?

So I'm having a bit of a crazy week here in Philly and I found myself asking "Did I really get a masters degree for this?" ALL. DAY. LONG. I know I'm not the only college educated person who wonders this, so please let me know how you're feeling. This will be an interactive blog. It will rely solely on your submissions. You can email me at DidIGetADegreeForThis@gmail.com, any time. Please include your first name, city, the degree that you have (ex: BA, BS, BFA, MA, M Ed., etc), and the thing that you seriously can't believe you had to do today - i.e. get subway for your boss, break up a fist fight in the break room, teach someone how to use Excel, etc.

Nothing is off limits - I will post profanity with your average @#$ replacements, but feel free to tell it like it is.

Bring on the rants! Also if you get to do really awesome stuff at your job - like travel the world for free or meet celebrities, feel free to send that stuff too. I promise to be jealous!
