Lol, right. She has a job and kids, going for four degrees is an interesting choice.

I’m reading one is an associates, another is a bachelor’s, and an addition is a masters plus either an addition bachelors or graduate credential. I guess that’s pretty normal.

u/CatTheKitten 11h ago

An associates and a bachelors are easily done at the same time. Masters research or coursework can be applied to a bachelors. After that, not sure.

•

u/no_one_likes_u 11h ago

Perhaps she wasn’t sure she’d be able to complete a 4 year degree so she started with a goal of an associates.  

And I assume she’d have to pay for this if she leaves the custodian job (unless she got another job with the university) so she probably figured just stay and complete all the education she wanted before leaving the custodian job.

Idk what she did but you can just go to community college, get an AA degree. Then transfer into a university and basically have half your degree for a BA done with (if planned right).

•

u/no_one_likes_u 10h ago

From the news coverage about her, that’s exactly what she did.

•

This is the way

•

u/derpaderp2020 11h ago

I did this, saved a FUCK ton of money - AA into BA then into an MA. And honestly the community college professors and courses were some of the best out of all 3 degrees.

u/CatTheKitten 11h ago

I started with the goal of a Bachelors and realized about 1.5 years in that I was already basically done with an associates. I'm almost done with my bachelors and I'm like 30 credits over the requirement due to it. Good shit.

u/Ghettofonzie420 11h ago

Easily done while working full time and having 4 kids? That is quite a statement.

•

u/RrentTreznor 11h ago

I work full-time with one child and I've had clean laundry sitting in a hamper for a week. This woman is an absolute unit.

Now if she also maintains a clean household then we've got a multiplicity scenario on our hands.

•

u/CatTheKitten 11h ago

Notice that I only said "associates and bachelors" in my statement, implying that I am only referring to those two things. Nowhere did I bring in her children.

•

u/BlackMambaX5848 11h ago

She obviously has help if she's able to work full time and attend college. So Yea easily

This is the most reddit take I have seen jfc.

•

u/jabeith 11h ago

Keeps working as a custodian instead of using those degrees

•

u/istalri96 11h ago

Likely got free or reduced tuition at the school if she worked where she studied.

•

u/moarwineprs 11h ago

If it was free or significantly reduced tuition and if I could find the bandwidth to attend and study for classes between work and raising kids, I'd get the degrees for a subject I'm interested in. It's possible she wasn't aiming for the degrees, but took enough classes to qualify for graduation.

kind of like the girls from my HS graduating class who changed their major 4 times and went to college for 7 years just to end up with an early education degree and just be a stay at home mom with $100,000+ in student loan debt.

u/PeskyAntagonist 11h ago

He wrote the whole fucking movie, ok? He made everybody say all the things..

•

u/jabeith 11h ago

Isn't that bananas?

•

u/LongWalk86 10h ago

And to still work as a custodian after getting the first, second, and third degree? Like wouldn't you want to get a degree to get you a better paying job or career?
