I’ve seen people hang diplomas (undergrad, law, medicine, masters, etc.) on office walls. I think it’s a sharp look. If you sit in a cubicle, though, is it odd to put them up? Imagine very high cubicle walls, not the super low kind. |
Lol. Right next to your string of chili pepper lights. |
It screams, "hey! I'm insecure!" |
I have an office with 4 walls and would never think of hanging my diplomas. It is not a sharp look. |
I have no idea where my diplomas are. most people in my role have phds and I have never seen someone hang their diploma. |
I don't really want to hang them up at home, either, so the office seems like the best place for them. |
Mine are in a folder somewhere. But if I had paid to frame them at some point, which is $$$$$, I would definitely hang them up. |
I think mine my mother has mine in her house somewhere. I understand why doctors hang them up but think everyone else is pretentious. I don't care where you went to school and which degrees you earned. |
You paid many tens of thousands of dollars for those pieces of paper. Framing them is the cheapest part of the process! |
My parents paid to frame my diplomas. I can't think of anything else to do with them besides hang them on my office walls. I certainly don't need them at home. Lots of attorneys in my office do this, presumably for the same reason. Cubicles are a little odder, but unless they are those honking big ones from UVA (seriously, why are those things so freaking big?) it's probably fine. I wouldn't hang it up if you only have an undergrad degree, though. |
In my future role I will definitely frame and hang my degrees. It's like losing weight - you want to show off your hard work.
If I worked in an open concept workplace though.....it could get awkward... |
I've seen some hang their CPAs in their offices but not degrees.....to each his own...my undergrad CPA are framed and displayed at my home office.... |
This is hilarious and spot on! My diplomas from college and law school are framed...and I think they are leaning against some boxes in my basement. Never put them up. My office has a giant clock from ikea surrounded by framed photos and some bright artwork by my kids. I'm tempted to put up a sticker that says mean people suck, but that's probably not professional (even though it would be awesome). I know someone who somehow shoved a couch in their office. Rumor is they sleep there sometimes. It literally takes up 2/3 of the office. Re: cubicles - in addition to lights, I've seen full length mirrors, area rugs, storage benches with fluffy pillows like you'd see in a sorority girl's dorm, and a storage shelf stocked like a kitchen pantry. I've also seen jumbo scented candles lit. I'm not sure open flames in cubicles are a good idea. |
Keep them in your home office, not your cubicle. |
When I worked in a cubicle, I hung up my preschool diploma. |
