I was thinking back to when Patrick Muldoon was on Days and I seem to remember he was getting his master’s degree in music or at the very least studying music. His piano playing was what attracted both Carrie and Sami. He also boxed as a way to pay for his schooling and his sister, Billie’s drug treatment. Fast forward to AP’s Austin and Austin no longer has any musical talent, just boxing and eventually he starts working in the business world with no education that I am aware of. Fast forward to now, PM is back but he now is an expert in forensic accounting with enough of a degree (minimum of Master’s in Business) to teach forensic accounting at the university level? I guess the musical skills disappeared and he traded his master’s in music for forensic accounting???
Jack teaching journalism, hmmm does he have a degree in that too? I could see him being hired as a guest professor but without the degrees, doubtful he’d be wanted at any real university!
Thoughts anyone?

As to Austin, if he was working toward his masters, he’d have to have already had a bachelor’s degree first so he probably switched to accounting (or maybe MBA deciding there wasn’t enough money in a music masters) while he was off-screen, I can easily buy both of these scenerios.
I don’t think you need anything higher than a bachelor’s to be a professor. My best friend teaches modern literature at the community college and only has a bachelor’s degree. In fact, most of her experience has been in journalism with the Miami Herald.

You’re also one of the first to be let go when they are cutting teaching jobs. It does work out for many as a lucrative way to earn a living at the lower level of the ladder in higher ed.

Well even Kayla a doctor… and even right before our eyes Melanie after a few times as a candy stripper was a nurse. got to laugh at how little she works or goes to school now because isn’t she working on being a nurse practitioner? Oh well it is soap land.
