Q: For teachers with master's degrees did you advance in position if you wanted to and did your pay raise signifi
I am guessing that with a bachelor's degree in education you can only teach and maybe move up in position after many, many years. But I have heard that this is different for teachers with masters degrees. I have heard that you can move up to counselor and principal within 2-3 years, plus it is said that if you keep teaching with a master's your pay raises a lot. Is all of this true? And can anyone tell me about the master's degrees in education and the different types and how long it would take? I am asking all of this because I am thinking about majoring in secondary education, but I do not know if I would get a master's degree or not afterward, is it worth it financially? I would appreciate any responses concerning this question and anything about the field of education and advancement in it.

A: The increase in pay varies from district to district (at least in Texas it does). In the small town outside Austin where my wife taught the district paid the tuition for courses towards a masters and paid an extra $1,000 each year for teachers who had a masters. In the small town 20 miles away where I taught teachers with a masters received no extra pay. At Texas State University, a Masters of Education in Math requires about five or six education courses and seven or eight math courses. I assume the requirements are similar for masters degrees in other subjects or at other universities. Texas State accommodates working teachers by offering all the courses necessary during the summer or in the evenings during the school year. Again, I assume other universities do the same. My opinion: Get a bachelors, start teaching, then work on your masters while you teach. The ideas you study in your courses are much more engaging when you have classroom experience. As weechi said, a principal or counselor job requires a masters, but it is a degree specific to that job. My advice for these is the same. Start teaching first, then decide which of these degrees you want to pursue. Good luck.

Q: Where can I find schools offering Master degrees in Event Planning?
I would like to obtain a masters degree in event management and am unable to locate a program besides George Washington University. I live in NYC though the program could be online or in the classroom. I am not looking for a certificate program but an actual masters degree. Any relevant advice would be appreciated. Thanks,

A: I would be skeptic if I found one for the following reason: event planning is a PROFESIONAL domain while a Master's degree is an ACADEMIC orientation. Academics try to solve issues related to a field. A masters thesis answer a question based on two assumptions using an academic, aka peer reviewed, methodology. Engineers try to solve specific issues related to specific settings (e.g. Solutions to expand the lifespan of X types of bridge submitted to Y factors) while social sciences try to explain social trends and phenomenon and linguists details how the structure of language are affecting cultures and groups of people. As for event planning, it seems more of a professional orientation. Marketing, booking, scheduling, promoting the event are part of the equation and sucessful people are more enclined to have lots of experience instead of asnwering though questions. If you want a masters degree RELATED to event planning, the best bet would be to enroll in a MBA and focus your projects and research on certain aspects of event planning. Good luck!

Q: Is it possible to obtain two master degrees in Studio Art and Japanese Studies?
If so, where can I find a graduate school in the MD/DC/VA area?

A: I know many people who have two or more master's degrees, mostly because their interests changed over the years. If your question is whether you could combine these two very diverse degrees, the answer is "no." Studio Art - Georgetown University http://art.georgetown.edu/studioarts_top.html Maryland Institute College of Art http://www.mica.edu/PROGRAMS/index.cfm?id=2 Japanese Studies - I couldn't find a master's degree in Japanese Studies in this area. http://www.universities.com/On-Campus/Masters_degree_Foreign_languages_literatures_and_Linguistics_Japanese_Language_and_Literature.html s

Q: Does anyone know if it is possible to undertake 2 Master degrees (one after the after)?
If i have a single Bachelor degree but wish to undertake 2 postgrad courses/studies in different faculties/areas eg say one in arts and one in business. Does anyone know if that is possible? Also is postgraduate like postgraduate masters, grad diploma etc? Is it possible to do another Bachelors degree once i finish my present bachelor degree and undertake Masters say a few years down the track? Thanks

A: Hi, it's possible to do as many courses in as many diciplines as you like! It is necessary to have an undergraduate/bachelors degree before you can progress on to postgraduate. Similarily, it is necessary to hold a postgraduate degree to go on to do a PhD/Doctorate. However, there's nothing to say you can't backwards and do a Postgrad or Undergrad at whatever stage of your life that you like. A postgraduate course is the term given to a course of a higher level than an undergraduate/bachelor degree. Generallly, there are postgraduate diplomas which require no thesis, and postgraduate degrees, also called Masters, which require a thesis. In the University where I work and currently write my PhD thesis, many of the faculty members have more than one Masters degree, for example many have a Masters in Education, to give them an expertise in lecturing. When I finish my thesis, i'll likely go back & do a Masters (I already hold one in Marketing), in Education, perhaps part-time. It can be confusing trying to decide what courses to take & in which order, so the bet thing for you would be to consult the careers service in your college, or go and talk to course leaders in the school departments. In the meanwhile, write down your career goals in order of preference. Determine where you want to be career-wise in say 5 or 10 years time. Decide what courses (and what level of courses) best fit into this plan. Maybe a Masters in Business, for example, is of more immediate benefit to you than doing a course in English Lit, for example. Good luck with your choices and your studies!

Q: Why do people with master degrees and up seem to lack common sense?
Just my thought of the day. I deal with doctors and pharmacists a lot in my job, people who go to school for years! Yet, sometimes I get ones who are completely stupid. Some put themselves out there as highly educated, but some do seem like they lost their marbles along the way. Anyone experience this? Why is this?!

A: I know what you mean, and you could put college professors in that same group. These groups are intensely focussed and trained in a specific discipline. They earned an advanced degree in one field, and hopefully they are very good at it. But that doesn't mean they are good at anything else. In fact, the more they dedicate their lives to that single field of study, the more they are isolated from the life experiences that build common sense. Because somebody is good at being a doctor means they are capable of intense study and capable of learning complex things.. It doesn't mean that they have common sense. Unfortunately, this is a deadly combination. A lot of knowledge without the common sense to use it wisely makes one a very poor scientist (or a very poor ANYTHING for that matter). And FYI, I have a Masters degree. (no offense taken!)

Q: Do your undergrad and master's degrees have to be about the same subjects?
Like, could I get an undergrad degree in Spanish and get a master's in East Asian Civilizations? Even though they don't really relate?

A: No problem. I have a BS in mathematics. I've done graduate work in math, philosophy and finance. For some fields, they may have certain requirements that you have to meet. For example, it would be hard to get into a graduate program in biology if you never took a science class. You can usually get a list of required classes from the department's web site. Good luck

Q: What is the difference between Associate, Bachelor, and Master degrees?


A: An Associate's degree is for completing two years of college and is typically only for the general requirements (math, language, etc.). This degree is mainly from a junior college, like a community college. A Bachelor's is a four year degree and is given in a particular field, like Business Administration, Communications, etc. If you start and finish in a university, you work toward the Bachelor degree and don't get an Associate degree. A Master's degree is a post-graduate degree indicating that you've gone beyond the Bachelor's. After those, you'd work toward a Doctorate (AKA Ph'D).

Q: Do most companies pay for their employees to get master degrees?


A: no, you'd have to be connected.

Q: Is there a website that lists all colleges and universities in NYC that offer master degrees in education?


A: I'm not sure there is a website that does exactly that, but there is a national source - http://www.petersons.com You can search by major and by metro area. When I picked "education" as a major, it asked if I was really interested in Adult Education or Art Education or on and on (more than 20 choices). I did a quick search and came up with 43 or so schools in the NYC metro area.

Q: Why do women get master's degrees and then become housewives?
This has always puzzled me. Why would a women bother to get her masters degree, her PHD, even her BA if all she wanted to was be a housewife? It's just something I have always wondered. Is it to get work after your kids go to school? Also, if you were a housewife, what would you do if your husband left you with alimony becoming rarer and rarer and the divorce rate pretty high? Where would you go to work if you had to?

A: Because alot of women actually go to college to get their MRS degree. There's no way I'd waste my degree...
