I have been out of school since 1991. I earned a bachelor of general studies degree. I have done nothing with it. I have been driving a truck for a living for most of my life. I want to go back and get
my master's degree. Most master degree programs would take me years just to get up to speed for
admission (like admission to an MBA program) for example. So I am thinking of going back for
my master's degree and choosing a field that requires the least amount of preparation. What do you think? I could probably get in an English program with minimal preparation? Maybe an anthro
program? Look I just want the master's degree. I want a fresh start academically since I wasted
my first chance. I don't even care much what the degree is in. I just want a master's degree!

Masters degrees in academic subjects usually assume you majored in that subject. You can get in with a different major, but you'll have to be able to demonstrate in your writing sample and statement of purpose that you have an adequate background in the subject and you're prepared for advanced coursework in it. You may have to take a few undergraduate courses as a nonmatriculated student to brush up.



If you're getting the degree in order to change careers, I'd advise you match the degree to the career. Look at job postings to what they're looking for. Some prefer a masters degree but only in certain subjects, or you may be better off getting some other kind of training or certification. Don't be fooled into thinking that a masters degree--any masters degree--is necessarily a ticket to a better job. An MA in anthropology will be of limited use in getting a sales job. Of course, if it's more for personal enrichment, then you should study what you like most.



Also, if you're not ready for a masters program but find that a bachelors degree in a different major would help you achieve your goals (whether personal or professional), you may be able to get one in as little as two years if the college will accept your gen ed requirements from the first degree.

A masters in liberal arts may be what you want. You'll still be driving a truck after you graduate, but you may advance to driving a taxi or even a limousine. You have work experience and you have a degree. It makes you an ideal candidate for an MBA program. Take the GMAT, and if you get a decent score there are hundreds of programs that will accept you. Your age does not matter. You'll be taking classes with many people younger and older than you. A good full time program will take two academic years. Part-time can take 3-4 but you can continue working. There are accelerated programs that take less time.



Explore the Official MBA Guide. It's a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their accreditation status, tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. Schools provide data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees, and much more. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria.
