I accept this.  I let my annoyed attitude get the better of me.  However, that one thread did result in the banning of Cindy, so I don't apologize too much. 

I totally accept the flame about the two weddings thread.  I completely jumped to conclusions and pulled out the party lines on that.  After I got over myself I realised that her posts and cultures were very interesting.

Yep.  Especially if the majors are in similar fields.  My B.A. is in English/Communications Studies.  My M.A. is going to be in American History.

(I am going to be virtually unemployable, but knowledge-rich!  And hopefully I can get published.  A lot.  Or teach high school- or college-level.)

Also, re: being a SAHM - it's not like staying home when your kids are young means you'll stay at home forever.  My SIL, an intelligent, educated woman, is in the process of returning to work after being at home for the last 7 years while her 3 kids were little.  Her degree won't be "wasted" when she returns to the workforce.

<div>This.  Also, my mom didn't go back to work until I was 12 or so, and she then worked her way up in a bank.  But she says all the time that her biggest regret is not going to college, even though she didn't need a degree to end up where she was.  There are more benefits to college than just being able to put a degree on your resume. </div>

That shouldn't be too difficult.  You should meet with a university adviser to go over your transcript and see what classes mesh.  I was really shocked that I was able to get my history M.A. without having the same B.A.  I had to take a couple of gen. eds. that my undergrad college hadn't required (a second psych course, geography, etc.) but within one semester I was caught up, and ready to apply. 

Go for it.  Improving your mind is never a waste.  Ever.
