Yeah, I mean, isn’t a masters degree even worse, then?

  a masters degree is about mastery, not about being central/main/leading...

    Masters degree is from “magister”, meaning director/chief/boss/leader

      wikipedia says: The original meaning of the master's degree was thus that someone who had been admitted to the rank (degree) of master (i.e. teacher) and from Latin: magister, "teacher" teaching requires mastery, not leadership, although the concepts are related because mastery is also good for leadership. my armchair etymology suggests that master and mastery were closely related until it started to be applied to leadership as well.

        Magister means teacher and the things I mentioned. See https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/magister#Latin https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/magister#Latin

  Now I just know why I couldn't get a job. It's because I got a bad and worse degree for two years
