Master's degree (what I researched) and apprenticeships (what a group member researched) are similar because they are both programs that you can do to create more opportunities for yourself. A master's degree can help you get better jobs and higher pay. An apprenticeship can also hep you get a bigger, higher paying job if you have on the job training and experience. They also both are programs that you can do for a wide variety of jobs.

# data[].attributes.body
my group talked about the military A.A. degreas trade schools and apprenticeships, the general consensus was that you could get almost any job from these except for the military. another reason for going through these options is that they set up your life for instance 95% people who get apprenticeships keep there job, and joining the military gives you a bunch of benefits.

# data[].attributes.body
Mine (I had Trade School) and a groupmate (Master's) were similar in that both of them had elements that made them requirements for certain jobs.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose to research associate degrees, and one of my group members decided to research masters degrees. Associate degrees are a 'stepping stone' towards receiving a master's degree, because associate degrees certify that you've learned the fundamentals of a subject, which will help make the next 4 years of school easier for you.

# data[].attributes.body
Both of my group members researched associates degree. I researched apprenticeship which is similar to getting an associates degree. With an apprenticeship, you can work and learn with many occupations where a associates degree is required such as carpenters, plumbers etc.

# data[].attributes.body
The pathway that I researched were similar to my group member's because first of all I had the same pathway as one of them so everything. My pathway which was an AA degree and my group memeber's pathway which was Apprenticeship both are ways o furthering your education, increasing your job opportunities. In addtion, both save you money, for example an AA degree is a great way to lead you to a bacherlors at a lower cost while Apprenticeships lead to a higher education and all the benefits while either being free or being paid. In other words they are more financially better.

Our pathways were similar by, that all of the pathways provided opportunity's that guaranteed on getting a job.

# data[].attributes.body
My pathway was a trade school and one of my group members had an apprenticeship and a masters degree. All of which are similar because they focus deeply on a certain topic or skill. The apprenticeship is on the job training for a specific skill, the trade school is for honing specific skills and a masters degree is for a specific skill/or topic.

# data[].attributes.body
Both a master's degree and an apprenticeship are similar in that they typically both require a bachelor's degree prior to applying. Both an apprenticeship and a master's degree also focus on a certain skill. Through an apprenticeship, one experiences on the job training/mentoring in order to learn while a master's degree is typically spent learning in a lecture hall.

# data[].attributes.body
Our pathways were similar because they all came with the outcome of many benefits and knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
My group member's pathways were similar to mine because we all had a path through college to get a degree.

# data[].attributes.body
Me and my group member's pathways were similar in the fact each pathway had extensive requirements. All three also had very diverse interesting facts. Master's Degree: Had nearly a page full of requirements. Apprenticeship: 94% of people who finish an Apprenticeship end up with the job Trade School:  has a secondary name besides "Trade School." Each pathway was considered a form of education leading to a job.

# data[].attributes.body
My group member's pathways were similar because they all degrees to get a good education and later in life would help with getting a good job that would support you.

# data[].attributes.body
My group members pathways were similar because these were steps through colleges and later on towards careers.

# data[].attributes.body
My groups pathways were similar because we all chose a degree of some sort. The requirements to receive these degrees were different but all 4 of us chose to research about a degree. We had one Masters, two A.A, and one Bachelor's degree within our group.

# data[].attributes.body
They were similar because no matter the degree it all required some time in post-secondary schooling.

# data[].attributes.body
I was covering the masters degree section and one of my group members had chosen the associates degree. These are similar because they are both post-secondary degrees that may be required for certain jobs.

# data[].attributes.body
My group discussed different degrees and military path ways. Some degrees such as bachelor's degree is very helpful for getting a job that will be able to support you, while joining the military will also help you get a better life with all the benefits that come with it and the higher salary than civilian jobs.

# data[].attributes.body
My groups member's pathways were similar in that we all did some type of degree. We had one do master's, two do bachelor's, and one do an A.A. All of the degrees will help you get jobs, but some will help more than others.

# data[].attributes.body
My group was filled with two types of degrees: associates and masters. They are similar in a way that they require about the same amount of time (associates: 2 year program in community college and masters: around 1-2 years). They are also both similar because it yields a more powerful job and helps you gain more experience before entering the workforce.

# data[].attributes.body
Our groups pathways were similar because you had to had some form of education to get a specific role in a job.

# data[].attributes.body
Our group members had similar pathway's because all of the educations we discussed allow people to get jobs in specialized fields or allow them to earn more money when working in that specialized field.

# data[].attributes.body
My group had me who had Master degree and two people with trade school. Our group pathways are similar because both take about 1.5 to 2 years to complete. Also that you get better study opportunity's, with hands on experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
My group talked about the possible careers and extra pay that comes with obtaining a higher education. While we had different research areas, we still had the same idea why we picked the path that we did.

# data[].attributes.body
My pathway and my groupmates pathways were similar since both me and one of my group members answers were masters degrees. Both of our answers were pretty similar, with the only real difference being the college we chose to research. Besides that, our pathways and my other group members pathway in apprenticeship actually had a weird amount of similarities despite being completely different paths. Both master degrees and apprenticeships have someone doing extra work in order to be more skilled and more capable in a specific job/job branch.

# data[].attributes.body
Our pathways were similar in the sense that they helped you make money. Students go to them to study. And they help specify you in a workforce

# data[].attributes.body
My group member's pathways were similar to mine because one person in my group researched an associates degree which offered some of the same opportunities as a trade school degree.

# data[].attributes.body
One of my group members had masters degree. How a masters degree and an Apprenticeship can relate to each other, is that if you want to further learn about what you are trying to succeed in to get your masters degree, you can do an apprenticeship, to learn more about the career you are trying to go into.

# data[].attributes.body
Both an Associate's degree and a Bachelor's degree are both undergraduate degrees. A Bachelor's degree is needed to get most of the jobs that are available today. An Associates degree provides security in jobs. .

# data[].attributes.body
Our groups were different because we all picked different educational pathways. All of us picked a different type of degree, which helped the rest of the group know about the other education options.

# data[].attributes.body
They were different in the sense that one pathway was a form of higher education and more time investing compared to the other two pathways. This said, one pathway being a four-year program of education.

# data[].attributes.body
Me and my group had different pathways in that one required more education than the other, Masters degree compared to apprenticeship and trade school. And an apprenticeship differed from the others as it was more focused on working on the job rather than learning more about a topic or skill.

# data[].attributes.body
The way me and my groups pathways were different was we had different requirements for how to earn our degrees. Our degrees also had different purposes and meanings as well. For example, an A.A would only take 2 years to earn and transfer you to a 4 year institution. Bachelor's degree is an undergraduate degree and typically lasts 4 years. Finally, a Master's degree is the first level of graduate study, you must have a Bachelor's degree to apply for this degree,

# data[].attributes.body
The amount of time to get the different degrees can vary. An A.A and Masters are around the same amount of time at 2 years, but a bachelor's takes about 4 years. Also, the amount of pay that the job opportunities hold for the different degrees will be different too.

# data[].attributes.body
I researched trade school and a group member researched Master's degree, they were different because a master's degree takes much longer as you need an undergraduate degree to first start studying it. A trade school however, only takes a few years per course and can be completed right out of high school. Master's degrees allow you to get payed more money working at existing jobs as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I discussed how trade schools are rather short in course length, while a groupmate discussed how master's degrees can be extremely extensive.

# data[].attributes.headline
Sierra Sears: One of my group members did trade school. This is different from a bachelors degree because when you go to trade school your training for your job while if your getting your bachelors degree your just doing school.

Even though people who pursue an apprenticeship are alike to people who choose to go for an associates degree are alike they are mostly different. Apprenticeships have a wide variety of jobs to be an apprentice for unlike people with an associates degree. People with apprenticeships can work with jobs that range from plumbing, to a Amazon software engineer.

# data[].attributes.body
My group member's pathways were different because an associates degree is commonly earned through community college whereas a master's degree is generally through a bigger university or 4-year college.

# data[].attributes.body
My group member's pathways were different because even though they were all degrees, they all had a different level of difficulty to get them. They all had different requirements for working towards the degree.

# data[].attributes.body
Mines and my group's pathways were different because we had different education, and different schools for specific roles.

# data[].attributes.body
Our pathways were different because they all had different end goals and they all focussed on specific things, like an associate's degree centers on getting a bachelor's degree and military has many things to it but it's a different kind of level of education, trade school is a school for technical and specific things or the arts.

# data[].attributes.body
Master's degree (what I researched) and apprenticeships (what a group member researched are) are different because a master's degree is a degree that is learned about a certain area of expertise. A master's degree is usually learning about something in more of a classroom setting. A apprenticeship is on the job training. A person would do it to improve their ability with a certain job or skill. They are different because they take place in very different settings.

# data[].attributes.body
Our pathways were different because the military can take many years to get the benefits you want while something a an apprenticeship takes a small amount of time to achieve.

# data[].attributes.body
My and a group member's pathways were different because an AA degree requires you actually be in school and typically it is a normal class, not to mention it still costs money to get, on the other hand an apprenticeship is typically free or you recieve money, it is a moer hands on experience and there isn't a classroom setting. The jobs that you will apply for with these differ as well.

# data[].attributes.body
My groups members pathways were different because we picked a variety of educations and had different steps that were required to successfully get through college or a career.

# data[].attributes.body
Their requirements were mostly different. Like one required only a A.A. but others required a least a Bachelor's degree, Associate's degree or even a boot camp.

# data[].attributes.body
They were different because they led to different jobs, they have different amounts of years required to get when studying at a college. Also the things people have to do to get through the different pathways vary.

# data[].attributes.body
The masters degree and apprenticeship branches differences were in how the branches did the work. Masters degrees have you doing more school and learning new things to put to use in a job branch. Meanwhile, apprenticeships have you working with someone and getting hands-on experience to learn these specific schools instead of being taught in a school way.

# data[].attributes.body
Our pathways were different because of the amount of time needed to complete the two. Trade school is also more specific meaning you only study that trade.

# data[].attributes.body
the main difference between our options was that the A.A. degree was only preparing you for getting a bachelors degree as well as the military not setting you up for any job.

# data[].attributes.body
While we may have both had post-secondary degrees and master's degree takes 5+ years to earn while an associate's takes 2

# data[].attributes.body
My pathway of master degree was different from my group members trade school pathway because it is for two different fields. For us it was that the master degree I researched was for teaching when for trade school it was for becoming a electrician.

# data[].attributes.body
The difference between a Bachelor's degree and an Associate's degree is that an associates degree is awarded after a course of post-secondary school, and a  Bachelor's degree is awarded after 4 years of college.

# data[].attributes.body
A masters and associates degree (group discussion) is also very different. They are different in the fact that a masters will yield a more powerful job than associates and a masters needs to be taken after you get a bachelors degree unlike an associates which can be taken right out of high school.

# data[].attributes.body
I researched associate degrees, and they're different from master's degrees because they take a lot less time to complete. Associate degrees take a lot less time to complete than masters degrees, because a master's degree certifies that you have, in a way, mastered the topic that you're studying, hence the name. Mastering a subject takes multiple years of work and studying, but learning the fundamentals of it only takes a couple of years.

# data[].attributes.body
An associates degree and an apprenticeship are different. This is because an apprenticeship includes on the spot training for a job, while an associates degree is something earned by taking classes. Also apprenticeships are free and you get paid, while associates degrees are something you have to pay for.

# data[].attributes.body
A master's degree differs from an apprenticeship in that it is a level of expertise at a certain topic, it shows one's deep understanding of a certain skill or practice and eventually helps them get a better job. However, an apprenticeship is an experience offered to introduce someone to real working, often consisting of learning opportunities and on the job teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
How an apprenticeship and a masters degree are different, is that one of them is a around 2 year degree, and mine is a 1 month-2 year 'training' to learn more about the occupation you want to go into. A masters degree is where you would go to school, and take classes, whereas an apprenticeship is basically like a job.

# data[].attributes.body
One group member’s pathway was different from mine because one person researched the military and although both trade school and the military offer STEM careers, the military needs you to pass certain tests and exams to get into certain fields. Trade school on the other hand is relatively open and easy to get into.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm still interested in pathway as it doesn't require several years and degrees to learn more about a specific skill, but I'm open to try for a higher level of education or get higher level degrees.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, because the master's will bring a pay increase with it, making it a good option for school. You also get to focus on an area that you are interested in.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I am interested in the pathway I researched, this is because I have a feeling I might take one of these pathways in order to get somewhere far.

# data[].attributes.body
I think I am still interested in the education pathway that I chose. Although I might be interested in getting a master's degree later down in life for extra benefits, I think my main goal is to get a bachelor's degree first, then work to pay off all of the debts that come with obtaining a degree. After that, I would get a master's degree

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I am. As much as Trade School and it's entire concept interests me, I do want a Master's Degree. This is because I was to go into some sort of field of medicine. If said I do not go into this field, having this degree aside my name provides me with much more complex and developed careers that interest me.

# data[].attributes.body
I am still interest in the military because it provides a large variety of jobs within it, so you can try out those jobs and then continue to pursue them or choose to try something else.

# data[].attributes.body
I am still interested in my pathway because a master's degree can lead to getting a higher pay and the job that I want.

# data[].attributes.body
After researching and discussing with my gorup I am still interested in the pathway I researched which was an AA degree, I say this because an AA degree is still an amazing way to try and save money while trying to get a bachelors degree, while I am a little interested in apprenticeships they don't seem to fit with my desired career path in the fututre.

# data[].attributes.body
After talking with my group I am still interested in my pathway because an apprenticeship can give you a better chance of getting a job. This is true because 94% of people who complete an apprenticeship retain employment.

# data[].attributes.body
I am interested in the pathway in the pathway (master's degree) that I picked but I am not sure if that is the way I am going to go in life. I want to become a pediatrician when I grow up, which doesn't necessarily require a master's degree. I am interested in learning more about what apprenticeships are because I know that are pre-med and med school, you have to do three years of on the job training.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm still interested in the pathway that I researched, because of how associate degrees can get you better jobs and better pay, and how they help make the process of earning additional degrees easier.

# data[].attributes.body
Getting an apprenticeship would not be my first choice. My goal of still going to a good 4 year college is still something I want.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say the pathway I researched is extremely helpful and interesting but it's not really where I want to go, I would lean more towards trade school. Trade school offers more of an opportunity for what I want to do when I'm older, and it seems like the simplest way to get more knowledge of what I want to do.

# data[].attributes.body
I am still interested in my pathway because an associates degree offers practice in a specific area, and some jobs require a degree.

# data[].attributes.body
After learning more in depth about an apprenticeship, I feel that it would be interesting to try one. That's because it's hands on learning for a job, which you wouldn't have to pay for, but get paid for in the process. To get interactive learning seems different than being in a classroom environment. All in all, I'm still interested in the pathway I researched (associates degree), but I feel an apprenticeship is something I'd like to try and be interested in too.

# data[].attributes.body
I am, because I think the concept of a trade school is very interesting in that it gives experience rather than memorized information.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because it leads to a lot of better, high-paying jobs. Even though it requires more years, it trains a person well so they can perform their practice with little mistakes.

Yes, looking into it it seems like there is a lot that you can do in life with a masters degree, and it seems like it could be a useful tool. I researches into master programs and professions obtained from their degree, and from what I can tell, a lot of the highest paying jobs here would require a master's degree. The only real drawback for me is how much school would be required to get one, as some can take up to 7 years to obtain.

# data[].attributes.body
After researching and discussing I think I would be interested in getting an associates degree because it helps set you up for more education later on in college.

# data[].attributes.body
yes I am because an A.A. degree is the first stepping stone to getting a bachelors degree which will allow for higher paying and better jobs.

# data[].attributes.body
While a trade school seems interesting from surface level, after learning that a masters degree offers an advantage in the engineering field I am now most interested in that because engineering has interested me since I was a kid.

I was never really interested in my pathway , at first. As I learned more about Bachelor's degrees and how they are earned, and what they are used for today. It's always good to have extra information on a n important subject.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because if you have a masters it will give you a pay increase and it is a good thing to have, even if it is not required for your job.

# data[].attributes.body
No, because I don't see myself wanting to graduate with an A.A but rather a Master's degree. The way one member in my group described the Master's degree and where I could receive one really caught my attention and makes me incredibly more interested than an A.A.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I am still interested in my pathway. I have always seen myself going to a 4 year university like UW and a masters is a way to get a pay increase and yield more job opportunities for only 1-2 years after a bachelors so this pathway is something I am interested in.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I am still interested in the pathway I chose because in my future I would like to attend a four year university. With a masters degree the career I would love to pursue requires that certain degree and if I choose another career path way where it is not require I can increase my payment. With this master degree I have so many more career options to look at as well. Even though it may produce more school hours it will become worth it in the end.

# data[].attributes.body
Not really. Even though I enjoyed learning about it. Trade school isnt a realistic option for me whos looking for jobs that need different degrees.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I am still interested in my pathway because I want to experience what a job is like prior to actually applying for it. With a degree however, you may not even have a clue what you want to do and may end up relying on the qualification you have rather than the skills you possess.

# data[].attributes.body
I was not really interested in going to trade school, but learning about a bachelor's degree solidified my plan of getting an undergraduate degree. This is because typically undergraduate degrees give you a better chance at getting a job that pays relatively well rather than a trade school degree.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes I am still interested in taking an apprenticeship. I am wanting to do something in the medical field, and it is good to take an apprenticeship. So I can learn more about the occupation I am wanting to go into.

I'd like to know how far an apprenticeship is viable for a higher ranking job that requires a masters degree. I would also like to know how far a trade schools skills or programs it specifies on can reach.

I want to learn personal student reflective among my pathway. Yes and the facts and statistics are useful, but I want a view and grasp of the day-to-day life of a Master's Degree... How it affects the student personally. Possible youtube videos or vlogs could help me. Overall, I want to know what it really is like, not how colleges portray it. I also want to know how the degree applies to my college of interest, which are 3 colleges. (Reed, Yale, and WSU)

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to learn about the different colleges and the programs they offer. It's not like every college has every degree, I would also like to have a good experience at college too. I also need to keep my options open because I have heard that people change their master's degree all the time because it wasn't what they thought it was going to be; it takes a while to figure out what you want your job to be.

# data[].attributes.body
the next thing that I want to learn about an apprenticeship is how would you go about getting on and what would they do about job opportunities.

One last thing I would like to learn about a Master's degree are other schools I can receive one. It will be very important to figure out which school I would desire to go to in the future so I can plan ahead.
