Multiple Bachelor Degrees Possible?

[StudiousTraveller]

There's no question that you can earn multiple Bachelors degrees.  One question I have is "Why would you want to?"  Most of the time people do it in order to enhance their career, make a career change, etc.  If "learning" is your goal, you can do that easily enough with earning a degree.  Just read the books.  How would you use the degree(s)?  If it's not going to impact your career or increase your salary, etc. then I'd say it would be better to to read the books and travel (another way of learning about the world).

Personally, I like the structure that formal learning can give, instead of just reading books (which I also do a lot). I also like the sense of accomplishment/personal satisfaction with completing a learning goal, such as earning a degree or another educational milestone. My BSc was for my career and it served me well, but future degrees are simply for personal growth.

I definitely agree with you that travelling is another great way to learn about the world, and I have travelled pretty extensively already with many, many more places to explore in my future. Travelling to Normandy and the Western Front is actually what really prompted my love for history. In my school days, history was my absolute least favourite subject and I avoided it at all costs but after travelling and connecting with the places I have heard of, learning history is something I really enjoy now.
