Do you have enough degrees?

Or do you have sufficient letters following your name? Sometimes people feel if they have another set of letters behind their name it will make them more saleable. (MBA,PhD,CFU,CFP,CPA ad nauseam) There is not a thing wrong with advanced education or training. It can be a boon to your success in your opportunity search.

In speaking with numerous employers many still say it is the person that counts first. They want to get to know you and see if you fit the team. Many times they offer to teach you the position. The more education you have just makes it easier for you to ramp up faster many times.

If you are thinking of getting another degree to make your search easier be sure you also talk with potential employers to be sure your degree will make you more appealing.
