Just adding degrees is no guarantee of job. This confuses prospective employer about real use of the candidate. It is better to specialize in certain branch and get qualification in that only:

This is true if we are having many degrees we cannot get a good job and we will be in confuse to do a job.

It is true that we should specialize in one field and then enhance our career there.But what to do if one doesn't get a job,with single degree.He has to dual to has to struggle a bit in that field.
All the degree courses are good. But only few of them guarantee job opportunities. Taking too much degree courses would only help us to add some words after our name. But good qualification give better job and living opportunities.
I too have two professional degrees in hand!!!

I feel, officials at top positions will be envious if he see any sub-ordinate having more degree than him. Sometimes, hiding extra degrees at the time of interviews can help him a lot for getting that job, my husband say so!!
Yes all are having different thougths when we have more degrees we dont know what to do.
If degrees are not related ones, like if you have a chartered accountant and law that is fine but having a CA and medical degree is of no use. There should be a proper combination.
I think this is the age of multi-tasking and knowledge in allied fields does help in job markets!

It is okay to get more specialization and higher degree in your selected career. It is also okay to get degree in allied subjects as may help you in your main career. Thus M.Tech. with MBA is okay. It is okay to acquire degree in cyber law after LL B. But it makes no sense to get degrees in unrelated subjects.
Exactly, still the related degrees help your cause, like I have an MBA with Mechanical engg. For me a law or medicine would be of no use but blocking a seat only.
One can add as many as he or she is inclined to but when it comes to market realities - there should be logicality in the academic profile!
That's what I mean I know a gentleman with masters in as many as 22, I am not sure if ever had a chance to utilize any of them.

Too many masters makes one a slave!

Undoubtedly, most of the masters are either slaves already or willing/trying to be one.

This is what I wanted to convey. Too many degrees spoil the job prospects. Also, over qualification may also not be desirable. A Post Graduate will be considered over qualified for a peon or even clerk post. Organizations require adequate and proper qualifications and not extra or over qualified persons.

During my government service, I came across a clerk who possessed PH.D degree. His degree was not in office record. But all knew and addressed him as 'Doctor Saheb'. He was not very efficient and others would make fun of his being 'doctor'.
