I'm at University of Oregon, right now studying abroad in Akita, Japan for a year.
Fun times.

I have a B.A. in History already, and I'm doing a joint M.A. in Poli Sci/Public Policy right now.

That's awesome. I loved study abroad. Are you there to learn Japanese, or doing something else?

I'm trying to get into University of Houston for Business, maybe Business Law later on

Yup. I've already sent my transcript and test scores to a few places, but no one has sent me anything back

B.A. in History. Boise State University, Class of 1990.

I have my Advanced Idaho Law Enforcement Certificate thanks to my B.A. I got it in just six years (from my date of hire) instead of the usual 15 - 20 years if I didn't have it.

Some officers never go beyond the Intermediate level. They're excellent officers, but the requirments to achieve the Advanced level without the added boost of a 4 year degree are formidable.

Many advantages to having a higher certificate level. The most immediate is that you earn more pay.

So the piece of paper does make a difference for anyone out there who is currently questioning whether it's worth it to continue the effort.
