Wow--you really have spent a lot of time in school! What type of engineering did you study?
My second degree was in Metals Science and Engineering. At Penn State, the metallurgy/materials department was part of the College of Earth and Minerals Sciences and not part of the College of Engineering. My office was in Steidle Building. I remember occasionally wandering around the museum when I needed a study break. They had some nice displays there. Did you ever come to Steidle to look at the shrunken heads? They had real shrunken heads in a display case.
I went back for the third degree because I was in a lousy job and wasn't having any luck finding something better. I decided that I would change fields from materials and corrosion to chemical engineering, so the third degree was in Chemical Engineering.
After getting that degree, I ended up back in the corrosion and materials field. The background in chemical engineering makes me a better engineer overall, but I don't officially get much chance to use that degree.

"And a woman is NOT supposed to get any decent job until then-- it makes her a raging femilezi if she does." Such was the thoughts of some on that thread.
I made it CLEAR that single women have to have jobs nowdays--and SHOULD have a "back-up" plan (some sort of skill) to fall back on, should something happen to their partner, in a marriage. I do agree that if there are preschool-age children in the home, the mother should be ther with them(if at all possible) but have no problem with women worknig otherwise, unless it is all that women(OR MEN, for that matter) care about in life--their career.
But still-many here think I am the loser, neandethal, and out of touch.
