Taxman Team Member Bronze Contributor Motivational Speaker I think you wasted you money in motivational speaker school.  I dropped out of high school, got my GED, went to a vocational school, and now have my Associate Degree. I'm considering Bachelor's or Master's now. Bacherlor's would mean next to nothing in terms of money/job. Honestly, no real advantage over Associate for my field. Master's, OTOH, would mean a substantial increase in pay and I would go much higher on the ladder. I just don't know how dedicated I am to finishing. It *cough* took me 7 years total to finish my Associate's... I stalled and stalled.... |

I have a high school diploma but I bet I make a lot more than most 23 year olds. I hate school but I will probably end up getting a degree just so I have the paperwork that says I know what I'm doing. I work in IT so a degree will just increase my pay and I'm former military so I have a GI bill to use. No sense in wasting it so I will be getting a degree.

I've got 210 college credits but no degree, so "High School/GED" is the only thing I could honestly answer. That seems kinda screwy to me. But that's also how society works, which is also screwy, in my opinion.

Yes, and I am better than you because of it
 In reality, I went to college and finished because it was expected of me. I had no idea what I wanted to do with a college degree and still dont. Went to a school with a program I loved for its own sake, but couldn't afford it so I settled at a public university with a BA in economics which is basically worthless. I'm pretty bad off because of my pursuit of a college education, and I can't see how the situation will change in the short run. |

A college degree is like anything else, it can help out if you get the right one and make it work for you.
I'm working on my masters now, it will mean about $300 more a month... that is not nearly as important as the pride I will have from finishing it. |

How does that work? You should have a degree of some sort, somehow, even if by accident, with 210 credits. |

Whatever you do, apply to as many schools as possible. I can't emphasize this enough. The very bare minimum should be 25, and only if you are an exceptional candidate. |

My wife gets angry with me because I think college is a waste of time for me. I don’t think it is a waste of time for everyone but just for me. I have 4 years of experience doing IT stuff in the military and I know way more than most 4 year college grads with a bachelor in IT. The only reason I'm going to get a degree is because I have my GI bill which is basically use or lose and the fact that I will probably get paid a bit more because I have a piece of paper from a university. I learn way better by experience than I will sitting in some boring college class.

BS in Mechanical Engineering. Interesting field if you like machines and how they work.
I've considered going back for an MS for several years now but I can't get motivated. The advantages in pay and/or job opportunities don't justify it, IMO. Experience is usually the trump card in engineering, once you have the BS. |

Dropped out of high school, got the GED, went to trade school for five years at night while I worked. I am much smarter than most college graduates, I just didn't make smart choices when I was 16. I'm not trying to toot my own horn, it's just that I know a lot of very stupid college grads and most that I come across are retards.

I have to confess, Katie was this gorgeous tall blonde that my roomate and I only salivated about for four years. It's not like she would actually talk to us or anything  The things we did to try to meet her would make a hilarious sitcom. Remember that movie "Pretty in Pink"? The little red-headed kid? That, in a nutshell, was the adolescent Rodent

Damn man, if you did even halfway decent in your english lit or writing 101 classes you should get down to the english department and talk to them about a waiver. I did that when I screwed up and took the 'wrong' lit course, the prof looked through my english/lit grades (A's and B's nothing spectacular though) and wrote the waiver pretty quickly. Either that or just cowboy up and take the damned class. |
