Tumblr crosspost (though not an old one)

As time goes on, the more I actively resent that my MA has basically no value for my peers except as a requirement for other things. I worked harder to do well in my MA program than in anything else, I learned more from it than anything in my PhD, but … nope, it’s just this bridge to other things, apparently.

(The direct inspiration for this: I was just thinking about how I don't really have any qualifications or credentials for anything, just an MA, and then was like ... wait.)
