    During my long career in aerospace I have noticed that very few people display their degrees in their offices. Is this just an aerospace industry practice?
    About the only place I see degrees displayed are in Medical and Financial offices.

    My home is my office. I hang them to motivate me and as a reminder of what I have accomplished.

    The ones listed below hang on my home office wall. The GSST degree is in a file folder in my desk. All others previously listed were trash canned!

    Diploma location?

    Right behind me on a BIG wall where every client can see them. I am one of two that has theirs hanging but too bad. I don't care what the other people think, if they think anything at all.

    I am the manager and I went through allot of pain for those titles. I would think that everyone with an office would be proud to display their accomplishments.

    In my home office where my children can see them.

    My bachelors diploma, earned so many years ago that it was inscribed on a cuneiform tablet, is in a box in my basement, I think. But I don't remember which box. Maxine Asher is organizing an archeological expedition to find it.

    My more recent DL MA diploma is in its folder, inside the original manila mailing envelope, on top of a heavily laden bookshelf full of books about history, philosophy and religious studies.

    When I was an office worker, I had my AA, BS and MA diplomas engraved into metal and wood plaques. To see the style and the manufacturer, click here. I even had a beautiful plaque made out of my AA diploma. LOL Why? Well, I worked hard for it and I hung them all on my office wall!!! :eek:

    I have since transfered to an office that has a six window view and there is no place to hang the plaques, so they are currently in a box waiting for my next office.

    BTW, if you didn't get it the first time... my new six window office is a car. :rolleyes:

    My three degrees are placed in my office at home. They are doing a good job in motivating my two kids. My thirteen year-old girl wants a MD degree instead of a Ph.D. and my ten year-old boy does not mind a Ph.D., but really, really wants to be football or basket ball player. So, how about a doctor of footbal or basketall operations (lol).

    My feeling is, after many, many years, these documents become less meaningful to the owner. Thank you.

    That's pretty neat and not too expensive. I might go that route. Thanks for the link!

    Mine are framed in a hermetically sealed vault under constant temperature and humidity control, guarded around the clock by six ex-Secret Service agents. I release them on rare occasion for display by some of the finest museums and libraries in the world, at which patrons can rent cassette players and tapes for an audio tour as they examine the fine intracacies of each parchment.

    At one time, I did hang my B.A. diploma in my office - when I worked for a financial corporation where displaying one's diploma was fairly common - although, I noticed, only bachelor's diplomas were displayed. No one ever bothered displaying their MBA's, and I dropped out of the corporate world by the time I got my M.A.

    Actually, I like Bill Huffman's solution - he never had to find a place to display them. Although I've managed to never attend any of my commencement ceremonies, I do have all of my diplomas.

    They're actually in frames on a wall in my bedroom - the three diplomas, plus the Fletcher Award from TESC (for what it's worth), where they can be seen by my many sex partners. :cool:

    But priorities do change, and I'm now thinking about giving a similar treatment to my Highway Watch* Certified Instructor certificate. :D

    (This does give me an idea, though . . . I do have an extra set of diplomas, and am starting to wonder how I could hang them in the sleeper cab of a Freightliner Condo.)

    I'll never forget when they handed me my masters "diploma" at the graduation ceremony. Busted my butt for years, and when I got back to my seat after shaking hands with what's-his-name, I opened the leatherette folder only to see a note that read, "Assuming all of your financial affairs with the university are in order, your diploma should be arriving within two weeks."

    This is great, Bill, knowing that Dr. Asher is going to help you locate the diploma. At which of the WAUC schools did you earn the bachelor's degree? ;)

    I wish.

    It was a lot worse than that, a California State University (San Francisco State to be exact).

    Given the condition of my basement, only intuitive archaeology techniques powerful enough to locate the lost continent of Atlantis will succeed in discovering my lost diploma beneath the layers of accumulated sediment.
