Can you have TOO many degrees?
#1
I had a family member voice their concerns about me and told me I have too many/working on too many degrees and my head is going to explode.

This raises a few real questions: "Can you be too educated or have too many degrees?" How big of a red flag is it to have 4 associates, 5 bachelor's, and 6 masters to employers? For most of us, it's mostly an expensive hobby.

As long as they're all regionally accredited, and we have the cash, what's the harm? Is there any benefit to getting a nationally accredited master's when you have at least 1 RA BA/BS and 1 RA MA/MS?

I considered adding the $900 ML from Patten U and the $3000 HAU MBA but would there be any pros/cons to having the NA Patten U degree on my resume/LinkedIn?

For context, I come from a low-income family where I'm the only one with any type of college degree (AS+BS+MS)
