This degree marks your dedication to academia and fortitude as an adult. It signifies your ability to cram knowledge as fast as possible for a short-term goal while quickly brain dumping everything you just studied. It means you're invested in your future, but not set on a specific direction for your future. It's expensive, but the chances of a good return are really unknown. Anyway, congratulations. You did it, and it was hard. Frame this bad boy and hang it for everyone to see!
This document can't be destroyed. There is no way to burn it, break it, banish it, or ignore it. It's here forever. If you're looking for work, this might give you advantage over your competition. Otherwise, it does nothing...
EXCEPT THIS - When you come across someone else with a degree of the same level, they'll be able to spot you. They'll ask you about your school, its mascot, your field of study, and other crap that's not relevant to your situation. They'll likely be a bit pedantic, and if they happened to attend a frat or sorority they'll bring it up and talk down to you unless you belonged to one. Please, tell me you didn't belong to one.
When you come across someone with a degree higher than yours (like an M.B.A.), they'll look down on you in their mind even if not outwardly. God forbid you ever come across someone with a P.H.D. They'll probably be even more polite and inwardly judgmental.
In any case, none of you are any more qualified for any work because of your degree. The only people who know this are the people with a degree greater than yours.
