[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being an EA was where I learned that if your career goals were just to make money that (GENERALLY) the advanced degree was not necessary. [/quote]

OP here. This seems to be the conclusion I’m getting to which is disappointing.

I just wonder [b]what do EA’s continue to  do in post EA life[/b]?  Is that the ceiling?  It seems to me it’s still a transient job since they’re still in high demand

What do EA’s do after? Project management? [/quote]

Your problem is you are assuming everyone wants a post-EA life. For many, EA is the career, period.

I'm the poster above who was an EA and is now a CEO. I do not have a graduate degree. I was a great EA, and eventually took on more responsibilities to become a Director, and then a COO, and finally now CEO. I was recruited for each level I moved up to. I NEVER in a million years expected to be where I am but people are always very impressed with people in administration-type roles who are not looking to change to policy or something equivalent. But the trick is to master the responsibilities you are given and look for other things you can pitch in on that will eventually prove your value. [/quote]
