I've had a similar experience with my education, but not until I completed a PhD. When I had a Masters in Linguistics and BA in linguistics on my resume, I'd still have a good leg up in child-education roles.

I got a job as a swim instructor, then a job as a tutor, but my PhD is like resume HIV. I started getting calls back for swim instructor roles again after I omitted it early this year.

Degrees can hurt! I leave some of mine off my resume and then I get called back. Crazy
