For the third time, I have graduated college.

That’s right, after scoring an AAS degree from Century College in 2002, a BA from Hamline University in 2017, I have now earned an MA from Southern New Hampshire University.

Here’s the proof:

Unlike my last two degrees, this one was earned across two different school. I began taking master’s courses at Hamline in 2020, but then transferred to SNHU after my third class.

Here’s my transcript, which shows both universities:

Yeah, I know it’s just a picture of a sheet of paper, but I didn’t feel like going through the rigamarole of locating a digital copy at my school’s site.

Here’s another way this degree differed from my first two: My Associate’s degree cost my about $6,000. My Bachelor’s degree cost me exactly $2,057.74. That’s a pretty good price, especially considering I live in America – you know, the land of the free, where we are free to pay tens of thousands of dollars for an education. But…I didn’t think it was good enough. So, I am therefor happy to announce the my Master’s degree cost me -$162.60. That’s right, by working through this degree, along with its associated tuition and textbook fees, I earned $162.60.

I told Owen I am done with school, and he replied “you’re done…for now.” Which, yeah, I supposed I should never close the book on further formal education but, at the moment, I don’t plan to ever take another class ever again.

Unless I can get paid even more to do so.
