| PhD, but I'm a professor. |

| MS in Engineering Management. I think it differentiated me from other candidates at hiring (about 5 years ago), and I plan on using it to avoid needing an MBA. I'm in Marketing at a Fortune 5. |

What is it? |

| Ph.D in English. It did help me get a job in academia and I did enjoy it. But, if I had to do it all over again, I would get a degree in some field that has a terminal (or often terminal) Masters (social work, library science) and just get a job. Grad school took a long time and I was underemployed for those years. |

| Masters of Environmental Management. Yes. Everyone I work with (biologists) has at least a masters. Some are PhDs, but that's a bit overkill. |

| PhD in Clinical Psychology. Very worth it: I can do therapy, assessment, teach, do research, consult, etc. etc. |

| Yes and yes, somewhat. |

| Ph.D. in history. Even though I'm no longer an academic, the degree is still crucial to my work. I would do it all again. |

It's a mix of technical project management and an MBA. I took a bunch of graduate engineering and business management classes. It's offered at a bunch of schools. |

Please ignore the multiple uses of the word bunch! Typing on my phone and couldn't see what I was writing. |

| MS in Environmental Engineering. Extremely beneficial. Really taught me everything about what I do now and how to think. |
