I can't seem to figure this one out! I am sure I'm making it more complicated than it is.

IA motorboat can maintain a constant speed of 16 miles per hour relative to the water, and make a trip upstream in 20minutes; the return trip takes 15 minutes. What is the speed of the current?

Is it a good idea to get your MS from the same School as your BS?

I am interested in going back to school to get my Masters in Bussines. The school I received my BS degree at makes it easy for me to transition into the Masters Program? Is this wise or does it make a real difference to go to another school?

"Prestige" of various professional schools?

You really might not want to use the term "prestige" or agree with it, but you know it's out there. I mean, law and medical degrees are greatly respected, and thus, I think 99% of us would say those two degrees are very prestigious, if not the most. But if you were to rank various professional schools in order of prestige, how would you rank them, and why? Consider these professional programs:

Law
Medicine
Pharmacy
Veterinary Medicine
MBA

There are also others, but I think these are the primary ones. I'm only focusing on professional degrees here, not graduate Master's or PhD degrees.

Your two cents?

I want to go back to college and get my MA in History, but my spouse says no. Thoughts?

I am re-submitting the question with the following details:

It is purely for PLEASURE, I do not intend to use the MA for anything but my own enrichment. My job pays well enough, the MA does not have any effect on job advancement.

It does not have any impact whatsoever on our finances (my employer will pay for the courses).

It does not affect time spent with my spouse (I am foregoing another regularly scheduled activity to return to school).

The only reason I have received from my spouse is that "you already have enough education, you don't need any more than you already have."

Thanks to all who take the time to answer!
