I'm just a student at the moment. I have a part time job (Full time right now) that I have had for a couple years. I'm paying off my loan on my Blazer with it so that's fine for now.

I have future plans of going to college to become an architect. And not just a lenient idea, its going to happen.

I went to school for architectural design. Finished last year. $50,000 in the hole and cant find a single job in the field with this economy. Luckly I have a decent paying job right now, but prefer a job in the field I would enjoy.

I dont think its a waste. maybe not now, but later down the road this piece of paper will allow me to make an average of 80-100k a year, compared to 30k without it. To each there own, but I prefer to make the 80-100k. The way I look at it, this 50k I invested now, will pay for itself and then some. In a short period of time. A degree vs no degree, A degree usually wins.

Did you go to a University for your masters in it?

I can either do a 7 year course for my masters in it, or a 2 year course for a degree I believe?

No way can I handle 7 years more of school. I need to start making money as soon as I can. I also know someone that just went for the 2 year course and they are doing everything someone with the 7 year can do, and making the same wage.

You sir are correct.
Certifications+Degree=140K
Certifications+no Degree = unemployment

too many Paper admins.... Employers dont care if you can take a test... did you go to the class?
