The gap between undergrad and grad school was me getting the experience necessary to move into management and then realizing I didn’t know anything about how to run a business just how to engineer so I went and fixed that deficiency.
Of course I enjoyed my mba so much I’m working on talking my wife into letting me get my PhD in resource economics but she says that two jobs and aI new baby are already enough ito can’t add in school.
B.a - 22
ll.b. - 25
ll.b. - 26
ll.m. - 27
ETA: No matter how many times I’ve capitalised the degrees, they get posted in lower case?
BSc: 22
MSc: 32
The 20 year gap between my BA and my MBHR was because hubby worked for an international company that kept shuffling us around to various countries every 2 years, making it really tough to start up a Master’s program in the pre-internet days. As soon as we rotated back Stateside for good, I enrolled.
BA – 22, exactly.
MA – 24, exactly.
BA, 23 and 2 months
MA, 25 and 10 months
MLS, 27 and 10 months
BS: 22 years 5 months
Masters: If everything goes to plan for the next few weeks, it’ll be the day after my 38th birthday.
BA: 22yr 11mo
MBA: 33yr 0mo
I had determined that I wanted to work in market research by the end of my freshman year (undergrad). I learned that, to work in the field on the “client side” (as opposed to at a research supplier), a masters’ degree was usually required – and it so happened that the school that I was then attending (University of Wisconsin-Madison) offered a Master of Science specialization in market research (as opposed to an MBA).
So, I applied to enter the Masters program during my senior year. I received my Bachelors in May, and began Masters work that September. It took 2 years to complete the program, and I was hired directly out of grad school by a marketer of personal care products.
In retrospect, working for a couple of years after my undergrad program would likely have helped me a bit more well-rounded when I entered grad school, but my undergrad degree was in marketing; all of my classmates who were getting Bachelors in marketing were getting entry-level jobs as sales reps, which didn’t appeal to me in the slightest. OTOH, I had a graduate assistantship as a market researcher, and I believe that that experience did help open the door for my interviews.
BS - 21 y 7 mo
MS - 26 y 1 mo
I was in a PhD program when my adviser died on me, and I moved to another school after quickly getting the MS. That is why it took so long
PhD - 29y 2 mo - though that was just because I missed the summer window - I was done 4 months before.
Due to a quirky alignment of graduation weekend and my birthday (as well as doing a 4 year bach+mast), my diplomas and graduations are dated as follows:
S.M. 21 y (364 days)
S.B. 22 y (0 days)
Changed schools for graduate work:
M.A. 22 y 11 m
M.Phil. 26 y
Ph.D. 27 y
So technically I earned my bachelors after my first masters. The M.A. and M.Phil. were just formalities and not real stand-alone degrees as such.
BA: I was 22
MBA: 40
This is an odd question. MA programs vary enormously. Some are intended for mid-career professionals, others for recent grads. So the amount of time between degrees is pretty meaningless.
BS 23 3 months
MBA 28 7 months
College Technical Diploma: 22 years old.
Associate of Science: 24 years old.
Bachelor of Arts: 29 years old.
Master of Science: 40 years old.
A.S. - 51 years, 4 months.
B.S. - 57 years, 3 months.
I was a bit behind the curve.
AB: 22 years, almost to the day
PhD: 25 years, five months.
No master’s, but it would have come at 23 years, five months had I bothered.
Meh, who says you had a time limit. I can think of a heck of a lot more interesting ways for one to spend their 20’s than sitting in class rooms.
My field didn’t require anything beyond a HS diploma when I got into it in '82. When they started requiring associate degrees guys like me would have been grandfathered anyway. I only pursued degrees because my employer paid for almost all of it, then gave me an increase in salary for having the degrees. 
Almost all the credits for my Masters came from life experience credit, getting credit from on the job in-service training at other institutions, and testing out on some things. I had to take very little class time stuff for it.
If it weren’t for all that I probably wouldn’t have done any of it to tell you the truth.
S.B. 22 years 2 mo.
S.M 24 years 2 mo.
Ph.D. 26 years 9 mo. (or 11 mo. that one was December when I defended or Feb when degree was actually handed out.)
AB? Did you go to Stanford?
AB 22y 11m
MBA 34y, 2m
