Hubby is at a doctor's office. He'll know when he gets back...

I used to have them on a wall above my desk, but they no longer bring me joy.

In a box.

for my Doctorate in Sacred Music...that's hanging on the wall

P.S. I ask because I know people who were at Yale getting that degree.

Christian University of Southern Indiana. It was part academic and there was a metric for life experience. I have sung in 76 countries 6 continents and all 50 sates. I have directed choirs of 5 different denominations

I have Community College and a Community College of the Air Force degrees but where they are I don't know. I haven't looked at them in 30 or more years. I don't have a need to show or display them so they're filed somewhere with a bunch of other stuff in my closet.

As soon as I fix up my basement office, it's going to go up on the wall, along with my Paralegal Certificate. My mother had them both framed for me as a gift after I graduated.

I am a thinker, a dreamer and a planner but not much of a doer. I've been planning to fix up my office for years. One of these days......

I have a bunch of AF files and documents in file folders and books that I need to go through. My thought is to sort through and put them in similar piles and then scan them. It will be a lot of work but my summer is free and I might do it.

a couple years back I got a frame for it and put it on the wall in my office/studio.

Haven’t seen it in decades.

on top of a bookcase. Behind a large photo of my wife’s family.

Sometimes they can be found hanging there in a frame.

and were destroyed when our house burned down almost 19 years ago.

A diploma I do have displayed is my maternal grandmother's diploma from nursing school. She finished her 3 yr hospital-based program in 1918, having left home at only 16 to go to the program. She was born on July 4th, 1899.

It is huge, 19x15, and I have it in a silver antique looking frame to complement its age. It is in surprisingly pristine condition, considering that it was not preserved in any way.

I treasure this bit of family history.

My mom, the oldest of her 3 daughters, was also a nurse.

I’d thought about getting them framed and hanging them on my office wall, but like others stated upthread, never got around to it. Now I’m retired and don’t care plus no more wall space is available without displacing some artwork.

but it is econ

And even more so how much your work place and clientele want to see that.

I for one am in consulting engineering and my degree is definitely tied straight to my professional registration. So I have it hanging on the wall of my office.

That seems to be much more common in work places where clients come to you. It seems to be standard practice for doctors, psychologists, therapists, CPAs etc. It is partly pride but mostly advertisement of credentials

It probably seems a little strange to those who have a somewhat looser connection from degree to job. Or those where clients don't interact directly with your workplace.

the University of Wisconsin. Apparently they sent out some diplomas with the word Wisconsin spelled wrong.

Luckily, mine was fine. Anyhoo, I think it's in my closet. Never needed it for any job or anything. But, at least I know how to spell Wisconsin.

Somebody is in big trouble at the university....

are all on my den wall. I keep them out to remind myself that back in the day, I liked to work hard. The BM, MM, DMA are in organ performance, the other MLS is library science.

I have only been in that office for 12 years so I need more time to unpack.

Have two Associate Degrees, never could afford to go to get Bachelors and made too much to qualify for any financial aid at the time, but not enough to pay to continue my college ed.

Don’t really need to display them anymore

Framed and hanging in my studio along with various awards and nominations.

I framed them right after I got my doctorate, then left them tucked behind my desk at school until I retired and moved. Now they cover some wall space in my home workroom. Still fly specked and stuff from all those years gathering dust bunnies. Someday I'll get around to cleaning them off.

At work, I just display my Physician Assistant license.

My wife's is there too.

They might not be in the same place. There's the filing cabinet, a box in the basement, one of the closets downstairs, or somewhere else.

no clue after moving several times. Weirdly, I know where my high school graduation certificate is 🫤.

I guess I'll hear back from them pretty soon. It only costs $25 to get another copy. Problem solved!

Back in around 2002, the site where my office was located needed the offices because, due to the BP Texas City disaster, housing people in trailers in a chemical operating site was now illegal.
Since I was corporate, I got moved to a rental office about 3 miles away until the new office building was completed.
I didn't want to tear down an office, pack everything, unpack & do it again in 4 months.
So, I packed everything, left in my car until I got my office back.
In the 4 months, spring came so I started driving the convertible. My winter car (an old Buick Regal) was parked in front of the house.
When the offices became available again, I was going to drive that car to work & unpack.
The boxes in the back seat were gone. And, they popped the trunk and stole those too
All my textbooks, about a dozen corporate awards & certificates, and the 4 diplomas. (My MBA diploma was never at work.)
So, my BS in Chem, MS in Organic Chem, PhD certificate, & MS in applied mathematics; all gone.
My worst fear is that whoever stole them were disappointed to find books on mechanistic, polymer, spectral, organonitrate, thermodynamics and so on. They probably became campfire starters.

Vain, I know..I went to University after my boys graduated High School...
All ready in my 40's and I am still in awe of how I managed it all.
Will/Way I guess...

Tikki

With all my other important (and not so important) documents. I've never had them out on display.

It's got sealed copies of my college transcripts and references too just in case I ever had use for them again. The last necktie I ever wore to work may be in there too.

Many of the people I knew who might have written nice letters of reference for me are dead.

I'm a little fearful of opening the briefcase. It's a remider of how my life might have gone... Every day is blessed because it did not.

In alternate universes the briefcase-carrying-necktie-wearing Hunter is a bitter old retired guy living in isolation. Or dead.

Me not no why! 🤪

Haven’t looked at them in years.

I earned that thing and I remain very proud of the accomplishment as the years keep stacking up. I am somewhat mystified by how long ago that was now!

next to my dogs' obedience school certificates

They're with the grade/high school yearbooks and 4H awards that I never look at.

They are in the same red tubes I received with them.

and on the wall in my room/office.

My degree is my Oscar. I wasn't able to go to college right after high school. Finally, at 36 y.o., I went back and received my Bachelor's from Cal State in 1998.

It's my proudest accomplishment.

I was missing a lot of photos and stuff in that move.
