A light hearted post about education - ROYISAGIRL - 12-19-2020
So here's a not so serious post. If you could have any regionally accredited degree what would it be?
For me I have a fascination with things that aren't supposed to exist. I think I'd get a degree in cryptozoology or metaphysics. I love a good Loc Ness monster story. I know there are some non accredited colleges for this.

If I had the means, I would just keep collecting bachelors degrees indefinitely. Why stop at just one?

BS Degree in off-grid living with minors in Long-Term Food Storage and Master Gardening!
Even useful skills like a BS in Home Econ are hard to find these days.

Say I was given an extra hour per day, but I had to use it to work towards an RA degree. I'd probably pick behavioral psychology, neuroscience, or entomology.

LOL, haha, this is a topic that I've really thought about this for a while now, if I ever had the time, I would only be going for Bachelors and Masters degrees in all the subject fields that interest me. In fact, realistically, I thought about going for multiple PhD when I retire and have plenty of free time and when the tuition is FREE for SENIORS.
The brain cells are to be used and not wasted, most people, including the smarter portion of the population only use 10% of their brain for learning and retaining what they've learned... I want to max that potential and combat Alzheimer's / keep the brain active. Having that said, I want to do as many undergrad/graduate offerings that are inexpensive for now...

Update: Oh dear, yup, I fell for the 10% brain use myth, I wonder where I got that info... anyways, it's been debunked, people use more than 10% of their brain after all <gasp, the other % we're all thinking about... aliens! yeah! that's it!> https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321060
