    What about Project Management? I want to get into it and I have a bachelors in communications so not much knowledge of PM. Also I’m in Asia and I’d rather stay here a while. Should I get a master in PM or just the cert? I’m worried that the accreditation of. A Taiwanese school might not be accepted in USA and I can’t find the answers online.

    3:36 Everytime I see a job around they want bachelor's degree, master degree, doctors degree, I feel a dwarf with my master business certificate professional, I feel like the fifth person behind nobody and I don't even apply for that job, I don't know what you going to say to me, honestly I have 3 certificates, one in psychology, other in economics and the last one as a master business consultant professional, I realize that credentials or diploma is only about money not wisdom, they look my certificates like trash, so underappreciated, undervalued, it's demoralizing because you don't have plenty of money to pay to yourself a doctorate, my morale is on the floor sometimes, greetings from Chesapeake Virginia, The United States of America.

I understand that you did not mention owning the RAC, do you have plans to pursue it? Or do you currently already have one (since this video was two years ago)? If you do have one, would like to seek your consultation on the RAC re-certification. :)

    Great video! I'm going through this dilemma right now. I have a BS in Electrical Engineering and work in the industry making pretty decent money here in CA BUT, I'm quickly realizing IT is more of my specialty. I had certs from Intel and Apple via working at Geek Squad during my undergrad. Those definitely helped me get my engineering position, funny enough. I found Plenty of graduate degrees on IT, MS and even MBA programs. However, I can get certs in IT, CCNA(associate-level) and eventually the CCNP(Professional-level). These would be obtainable within a year or so if I dedicate enough time. After talking with many professionals in both industries and watching this video, I'm coming to the conclusion that I should focus more on getting certified FIRST then if I decide to move up in a company(CTO, CIO, etc), I'd pursue a graduate degree. What do you think??

    I found your channel some months ago when I was deep into my job search for public health jobs. I have my BSc in public health education and CHES certification but I may not want to stick with only public health. I am looking into certification in other fields to keep my options open because I still like health and wellness, creativity, and other areas. I do not want to go back to school if I’m about to be out of student loan debt 🥲

    Thank you so much. I want to get an MBA with a specialization in international business but I don’t feel fully prepared for it yet. I’ve been so confused between getting a graduate certificate first and be more specialized in it and then get an MBA later. What is your opinion?
