2 yrs post-college. If you came over and saw a framed undergrad degree on my wall above my desk in my bedroom, what would you think?

I wouldn’t judge. Especially since college isn’t easy. And even 2 years after post grad, I hear that many life is hard. Job landed or not. So I think having that little reminder of how far you’ve come or what you’re doing any of it for is nice

It's douchey to think that's douchey

I don’t know what field you plan to work in, but at the accounting firms I’ve interned for the degrees (and in this case CPA licenses) are still proudly displayed in each office even by the partners nearing retirement age. Definitely not weird or douchey to display something you worked hard on.

I mean it’s something. I file diplomas though, and bring them with me to interviews to share.

So many people frame and hang up their diplomas, this is so incredibly normal

Doesn’t matter what other people think really. I know, that’s cliche. But you worked towards a goal. Achieved it. And you want to display your achievement in your space in your own way. F everyone else who judges that. Be proud and don’t stop being proud.

You should be proud of your degree. I’ll show mine off after I graduate for sure. You’ll find it a picture of it on a T-shirt too. (Jk but be proud fr)

You likely wouldn’t know if they did- there is a database called the National Student Clearinghouse with degree conferral info from ~3,600 institutions that employers query for that information without involving the applicant directly.
