I would never stop getting degrees and learning. I would be a lifelong student.

Considering I dropped out of college because the professors (in Montana, in the early 90's) couldn't speak understandable English and it frustrated me to no end, and I suspect that's gotten worse, not better, I'd still be where I am today. HS diploma and college dropout.

I learn best on my own in any case. The religiously structured and highly biased system that's called "college" is simply too limiting. Limited by the biases of the instructor, the limitations of time (you have 3 hours a week with a paid mentor), and focus on results rather than understanding all hinder the process.

As for "field of study", I rather like life skills. Cooking/baking, home repair/remodeling/building, plumbing, electrical, structural, auto repair, gardening, a smattering of solar energy understanding... shit that makes my life better in a tangible way. I'd rather do something myself than pay someone else to do it for me.

So my life wouldn't change. It'd be the same as it is now. I learn what I want, when and how I want, from a number of sources and then implement what works best for me/my situation.

Unfortunately, schools have been overrun with Cultural Marxists Parasites who reproduce through infecting young minds. Schools should be de-funded, quarantined, or burned to the ground. They should not be given more human young to feed on.

Doctorate...Physics...too many fundamental questions in the world I want to see answered before I'm dust.

I've got little interest in traditional college, but I'd love to learn as many IT certifications as possible, along with some coding languages.

ok where are all the people who hated school? I know damn well I wasn't the only one.

I took "financial considerations" to mean the opposite of what most of y'all did.

If it werent for the strong financial consideration of the fact that you've pretty much GOTTA have that piece of paper to make any fucking money, i'd have stopped at high school.

One dude had it pretty close, the guy from montana. Different strokes for different folks and all.

Masters of philosophy. I think everyone could gain from studying philosophy.

Finance should not be an issue today.
You can learn almost anything you want to for free. You won't get the shiny diploma or the accolades but when the goal is opening and enriching your mind the thought of medals becomes irrelevant.
I try to learn a group of subjects every year or so but am more into science and technology.
