Do you think having too many degrees hurts your prospective job opportunities? Some people I know say it shows your indecisive. I believe it shows you like to learn. What do you think?

It probably depends on what sort of job you are going for and what sort of degrees you have. In the field of education, I'd say that multiple degrees don't hurt and may help. I'd guess that some businesses might look at someone with multiple degrees in non-business related areas as not fitting in --unless you also have demonstrated that you have particular skills the business needs. Good luck.

I have 3 doctorates, one in law (certified in 3 states), one medical in Oncology, and finally electrical engineering.
Sometimes, people are intimidated by me, and I can actually understand why. I never tell people my education because I don't want to be treated differently.

Too many degrees isn't a bad thing, it'll let you be flexible in jobs. Employers might see that you don't have one particular passion, which certainly is not a bad thing either. But it will hurt your wallet!

are you kidding? NO, not at all. It just means you like school and havent figured out what to do. You really should set some long term goals though and make use of your education.

it's a way to secure your future when u know more things,maybe its really being abit of indecisive but as we grow,we see things in different views,but i still believe that we will do what we like eventually as it makes us feel happier.

It's impossible to not know enough. This world changes constantly, and it is impossible to be ahead of all the things you can learn on Earth.

more education means you have more knowledge about the subject so you would be more qualified for a job
