AppId is over the quota

Sometimes it is better to just concentrate on working and building experience from that than to waste potential years in college just to get a bachelor degree which in all honesty doesn't mean much in terms of getting a decent job anymore. It has become the norm nowadays so if you really want to stand out from others, you would need to get atleast a master degree, which would cost you even more time and money. So there's many things to consider, not all of them very clear. Make sure to think about it.Getting anotherBachelor's degree won't solve much. Getting your foot in the first door of a field you're interested in will ... even if you have to work from the bottom, volunteer whatever.
IF you're a natural and good at your chosen area of work anyway ... a degree in whatever field only opens the first door.
I know friends in Banking who have Nutrition and Food Sciences, Psych degrees .... yes I kid you not. And they doing banking? Yes. One even went up all the way to Corporate banking .... it's more PR, being very opportuntistic and pushy sales more than accounting and figures for her, and she's great at smoozing and networking her way.
Even Social Work i ultimately aboutPR, networking and sales .... because you have to make your clients numbers work to justify government funding and to keep programs running. There are people with Masters in Anthropology ... in Fashion (serious) and Lifestyles jobs.
And sometimes (dependent on job and what advancement opportunities, your boss, your colleagues etc) - having that Masters in some cases can work against you. You can be seen over-qualified, or a threat = even already at interview level. And forget the entry level jobs - they're mostly closed to you.
Unless it's a field very specialised - Pharmacy, Architecture etc that you're interested in ... don't bother.
