Since I started my teaching career, I kept taking courses for additional qualifications in areas I ultimately wanted to end up teaching and was happy to finally stop once I became pregnant. I thought I was done taking courses...But last night I found myself registering AGAIN for another one for this summer! What's wrong with me! I swore I was done with school!
Are you for sure done with school? Plans to go back? Taking courses?

Done for now. I have a couple of career related dreams down the road that I would like to do someday: 1. be a teacher 2. own my own yoga studio, so I'll eventually work on my teaching certificate and take a variety of business courses.

I'm done I think.. I might go back to law school one of these days. But eh. I'm happy with the idea of being a sahm for the next 20 years (yikes!) and volunteering in my spare time.

I'm certified to teach K-6, but I'm teaching (and ultimately prefer) Pre-K. Soo I'm going back to school to get my Birth-K license and then possibly getting my master's in early childhood.

I think I'd like to get my MBA some day. Plus shortly I will being studying for my CFP. It's not like I'm going back to college but I will be taking courses and taking tests to get the certification.

Done, at least I think I am. Furthering my education at this point will not provide career advancement or an increased salary so I don't see the point. I wish I had gone back right when I finished my BA and gone for a nursing degree.

I'm not for sure done. If I want to get licensed I have to take one more grad school course. But I have a long long time before I'll start caring about that again. First I want to get LO to elementary school, and hopefully have another LO that I also want to be home with until school age.

Yes yes yes! After *7* straight years with no break, just graduated law school last Saturday! Except bar study is kind of like school all over again! However, I think one should never stop learning!

Yes, I'm definitely done. I have my MS in Computer Science and that's good enough for me! I have ZERO interest in getting a PhD or an MBA so I'm DONE.

I hated school and am perfectly happy with my BA. I won't be going back for a LONG time, if at all.
My goal is to achieve such professional success that universities grant me honorary degrees.

I am totally done. Got my BA and don't need/want anything more!

I am done for now, graduated with my second degree 2 years ago and do not miss it! Eventually I would like to look into getting my Masters, but at this time in my life I'm not ready for it!

I love school. I have a masters, and would like to think about doing a doctorate at some point (one of the studies I work on now would actually even be a great dissertation topic, so I'm actually currently in a good place to start a program), but DH just finished his doctorate a couple years ago and it's kind of nice having no students in the house at the moment!

I got my BA last year, but I may be going back to get my real estate license. I work as a realtor assistant now and my boss has been encouraging me to get licensed.

I'd like to get my MBA one day, but for now. I'm done. I'm currently studying for a certification so I feel like I'm somewhat in school.

SO DONE. I have my MA, and I am satisfied with that. The only thing that I would consider are things that really interest me (more hands-on than anything else--like yoga teacher training, or ceramics!), but nothing too academic.

Done and over with - I got my BA from BC about 6 years ago and I don't want to do any more! I'm done!

I'm probably not done, but I see myself as a SAHM for a few years now so I'm enjoying not worrying about school stuff.

I'm like you rubies - courses and things every summer for teaching. This summer I'm going to an AVID conference. But it's not really like "school."
I do plan to get my PhD at some point although I guess it won't be until a few years after baby...

I'm done. After I got my MBA, I've been studying for and getting certifications... Not the same as school and a degree but it still involves studying. I'll probably continue getting certs to stay relevant.

I have my masters and I'm DONE. I'd like to pursue a certification in my field, but the one I'm looking at requires a minimum of 5 years experience before you can start working on it. Maybe once I'm done having kids I'll work on that.

I started my masters but I'm not sure if I like the program. I want to eventually finish my masters. It will help my career when I do finish.

I have a BS but I might go back in a few years to get an MBA. Right now I'm studying for the CPA so I kinda feel like I'm back in school. Honestly though, I enjoyed college and going to classes. I kinda miss it!

I'm done for now! I just graduated with my BA so I'm going to enjoy my first time of never having school I think it is so strange that come September I don't have to go back. I've been enjoying my free time before our LO arrives.

I have my BA, but am considering taking some classes in areas other than what I went to school for.

I have my BA and one year of law school under my belt! Not going back to law school... but def am going back for my MBA and Masters in Finance... I just sent in paperwork to get registered for summer courses...

Pretty sure. I have an MA and don't think a PhD would do a lot for me unless I wanted to teach indefinitely.

I have two semesters left for my BA. Then, on to my Masters! Since DH works for the university, it is fun to have my own connection with the school. I can't wait to have a little Pack fan to take to the football games!

I think I'm done but not sure...I have my BA and JD and i swore I would never go back after finishing law school but sometimes I want to go back and get a teaching degree...I think I would love being a teacher but for now i love being a SAHM

Have my masters but still need to take my boards. My job also requires continual education courses every year.

I'm working on my third degree - I can't wait to be done in December and never plan on going back!

I wish I could be a professional student. I LOVE school (yes, huge nerd alert). I have a BA and a post-grad degree, and I have my sights set on my Masters. That's not going to be for awhile now though, b/c I need to earn some money, not spend it.
Through work right now, I'm working on becoming a Certified Brain Injury Specialist.

I will be finished with my Masters degree in two weeks! I'm very excited to be done for a little while, but I love school and could see myself applying to PhD programs in a few years.
