Leave some degrees for the rest of us

"... As a great CEO..."
Yeah, I really don't like that taste of vomit in my mouth he just made me experience...
I used to have a president who bragged about how humble they were
Were they on the top of the humble list?
"...and he's the best second shift server we have on staff"
Ngl if it weren’t for my soul crushing student loan debt, I’d do this. Not to qualify for jobs or gloat, I just love learning.
I hope to start a PhD before 40 but the finances and family life aren’t looking too promising.
Why do you think he's still in school? They can't start collecting until you finish school. All he has to do is remain in school longer than fasfa remains solvent....so Id say he's got a chance.
"It's a form, not a student debt corporation." - My Mom.
If it's not to qualify for jobs you can always just learn online for free. I suppose it depends on the degree but there's quite a lot you can just teach yourself these days.
I learn new things almost every day, I haven't set foot in a school in nearly 20 years.
TIL
My dog eats shoe soles when she gets separation anxiety, and miraculously, she hasn’t managed to need surgery (for that) yet.
That one was free, but the next dog fact is gonna set you back $10k.
(And we know the shoes are an issue. The last 3 were a friends shoe that was accidentally left here in a place we didn’t spot them, our dog sitter’s mom’s shoe (from her closet!), and my wife’s shoe from the ’no dog area’ when we forgot to close a baby gate.)
Ngl every time that thought runs through my head it eventually hits a wall at some point in the class when you've had your fill of curiosity for the subject, would rather move on to something else, but now you are stuck doing homework and working on that paper.
Same. I’d do every IT degree possible if so lol.
Ive often thought that id love to get paid to learn. Like give up my job and my new job is just learning
You can, but then it switches from learning to discover something. Expanding human knowledge is cool, but then reality sets in with funding, getting published, and having to kiss ass to rich idiots who think they are just as smart as you.
Me too! I plan on doing a PhD sometime in my 40s, before I turn 50.
Bruh. I question very seriously the wisdom of any applicant who has a PhD. Considering that a good deal of my job requires me to fire useless phds when their idiot bosses won’t do it.
I have a PhD, btw. Been through the trenches.
My employer has hired a few PhD’s for entry level engineering positions, and then they always end up fired because they are too incompetent to do it.
“I have a PhD”. Yeah, but you can’t even do this basic shit and your doctorate is in nothing we care about, but you knew some people.
You can audit classes for free at Harvard online.
People just business shit post there all day, huh?
What else is a CEO supposed to do, work?
It's like a less transphobic Tumblr.
This individual has more debt than the United States government.
I have 47 different degrees and two years of experience as a degree forger
What's crazier is the Twitter guy acting like he was taking a risk...
If I was the applicant and I found out about this, I'd 100% start applying to a new company.
You might get the job, but no one is going to listen to you.
Edit:
Or does LinkedIn look like Twitter now? I never used it so assumed it was Twitter and the screenshot was linked in profile
Yeah that's LinkedIn.
You can tell because it's as crazy as Twitter but not quite as racist.
And less porn (for now)
LinkedIn would do well with a couple buttholes.
This person’s LinkedIn account is real but they’ve also written a book about getting into all the top programs, they’ve been a CEO of their own company since 2013, and been on other boards. You can find him pretty quickly in the comments on that post.
Am I being cynical or oblivious when I see that history and assume it's mostly bullshit?
He was getting a masters in math at Harvard at the same time he was getting a masters in education at Stanford, while also going to Stanford Business School.
Taking one class of each program at a time technically counts as doing that program!
Except the timelines they have for all the course are as if he was a full time student…. Something isn’t adding up here.
It also says they cum loudly, don't think it's a serious document at all
(Do... Do I have to put the /s? Probably... Oh well)
It’s early in the morning, I didn’t see the ! In your original comment 🥲
Nah it's all good, I know sarcasm is difficult on the Internet, I just always pray I've found a way to be obvious and inevitably eat downvotes sometimes.
But that's how I live my online life
I think it might be satire.
I don't know -- but, if so, put me down as cynical or oblivious, too.
He would be an immediate block for me, anytime I see a sentence and not a job title under their name. It’s served me well so far the rare times I open LinkedIn.
I have 20 BAs, 17 AAs, and 4 doctorates.
If only 1 of them was in my name... 😮💨
If I saw this I'd be seriously concerned as a recruiter (I do recruitment for my firm sometimes), bit of a red flag. Does this person have any work experience whatsoever?
He said in the post that they don't.
Right, that or it's a bunch of BS. Either way it can't be good. At a certain point you need either work experience or a portfolio for what you've worked on since your degree. Having only degrees is a problem.
That intern was Elon Musk.
