Unfortunately too many people think way too highly of a generic college degree. A college degree is needed for some specialized fields (such as engineering.)
Too many kids jump out of high school and right into college, and don't even know what they are going to college for. Going to college just to be going to college is a waste of time and a waste of money.
Do You Feel It's Important to Go to College to Secure a Good, Well-Paying Job?

Is it just us or did summer swing by faster than usual this time around? With August just around the corner, "Back to School" is the thing on everyone's mind. Well, if you're a student, parent or teacher at least.

On the basis of income, my salary is much higher then those that graduated from college long before me. Now that I have both a college degree and over 10 years of experience I am much more valuable.
If obtaining, like one gentleman indicated, a generic degree, you are limited to entry level positions and that still doesn't guarantee you a job, per se....So what do you do? You go back to college to get that graduates degree!!! Even bigger mistake, because now you are not as marketable....You've become more qualified, yet still lack the experience....I don't know...maybe I don't have a clue what I'm talking about...I say start a business and work for yourself and be your own boss!
Furthermore, employers prefer polyvalent, flexible and performing people.
There are exceptions, of course, as talented people do not always need a university degree to be successful in business.
This was asked before too.
I am very highly educated and have a wide area of experience as in its very diverse. It could prove to my positive point or my detriment as many people look at two pieces of paper to make a judgement on how good you are and what you can do in the corporate arena or society.
It doesnot work that way for many have the highest of highest qualifications but are idiots when it comes to execution as they have no knowledge on how to carry out the process. It is all about their willingness to learn that makes them who and what they are.
But in todays corporate world, everything works from the internal sources and not always from external application. External applications go in but no results come out unless there is internal referencing. It means that it doesn't matter what you have learnt but who you know within that makes the difference.
That's why if you really want to get somewhere in life, go straight for the head and that is when the best of you come through with regard to the job. Its doesn't mean compromise yourself, but it means prove yourself to the head as someone who is counting on results that benefit his co...

Its doesn't mean compromise yourself, but it means prove yourself to the head as someone who is counting on results that benefit his company not the individual who is out there. So if you want to get somewhere, Give it to the head of the Company and with proof of what you can do and it will always bring that result you have hoped for.
I prefer having my own business on the side as in today's economy, there are no guarantees for survival, this is something which will never die, as it is all about you, your finances, you life and experience wherein no one can be a judge to your qualification but yourself and that will reflect in the work that you provide to the world and the services that you render.
