this isnt going to come out right, but im just going to type whatever way it comes out
the type of degree you hold doesnt really hold that much value, unless you really utilize it. im not saying that it isnt important, education is important, but its really what you do with it that holds relevance.
i know two people who graduated summa cum laude or cum laude. you couldn't really tell by the way they live, they live very mediocre lives. they aren't filthy rich, but they aren't dirt poor either. one published books and went on and furthered his/her education, but never held a job, and pretty much died with no work experience living at home with their parents
the other owned their own business in a small town. she wasn't this CEO of a major company. she didn't live lavishly. she wasnt filthy rich. she lives very humble. her sister on the other hand, dropped out of high school and married a rich man.
so the degree you hold really just states how much education you have, but it doesn't really measure your success. it's all about your willingness to go out there and just do something with your life.
hell look at bill gates. that mofo didnt get his degree until after he became one of the worlds richest people. Jayz was snubbed for having a lack of education by NFLPA [he doesnt have a negree] and that mofo is a million dollar mogul.

High school grad here and make enough to pay a mortgage, a car payment, my other living expenses and my shopping addiction. /shrug
This is laughable. Are you trying to justify any lack of an ability of follow through? You use extreme examples to validate your thesis. Try using actual data instead of presumed assumptions.
In our modern economy you need the resources of many different disciplines to achieve the slightest of successes. It is the assembly of professionals and a cohesive plan to succeed. Even then sucess is fleeting.

MV she didnt say that you shouldn't have a degree but that it in and of itself is not a determining factor of an individual's success with a degree in hand...i

Yeah it did. I just pointed out that she happened to know two summa cum laude recipients who had mediocore lives after graduation. I just wanted her to show proof.
The trend here is those without degrees past high school seem to be the one's stating its not necessary to future success. To which that is true but I premise still holds. If you believe that more education is not needed then please show it.
Because I bet you that the one's they put forth as examples are the first ones to tell you that an education is important. If for the very least it shows a commitment to follow through on something.
In our very complex and ever evolving modern economy educating and re-educating oneself is the norm.
Get used to it.

Welcome to a modern economy. As I said before...
Get used to it.
Winston churchill once said that
"...democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."
So I guess our education systems are pretty darn bad but if you consider the alternatives its not that bad.

I am 5 courses from a Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering
But
This semester ironically I'm finishing up with a BS in Accounting lol
😄
Might as well take the classes to finish the electrical engineering as well while you're at in. Why not? You're that close, go ahead and get two degrees. Won't ever hold you back. 🙂

are you directing this at me MV? You quoted both myself and dimplize. I already am taking on line course to get my business degree. I Was not justifying anything. I was stating I am successful without a degree not that I was not interested in getting one.

It seems school systems around the world is shitty not just in the US lol.
Not really. In other countries kids know the history and geographic location of the whole world by 4th grade. They know mathematics inside and out by junior high. They are leaps and bounds better then us.
Our education system is the worst, because we spend lots of money on it, but the ROI isn't that great, just like our healthcare system.

Show your empirical data. I have to say that if our system was the worst we wouldn't be as wealthy as we are. ROI stands for Rate of Investment. Did you mean ROR as in Rate Of Return instead?
I thought ROI was Return on Investment.
I HATE abbreviations. I work in health care and I hate them. They can stand for so many different things.

In my field it means Release of Information.
Just had to throw that in there. hee! hee!

no ragrets
Finishing my M.Ed this semester!
There are many different meanings in economics and finance...economic costs are boarder and take into account the opportunity costs... economics 101...
And that's as far as I got, 1st year macro and micro economics, switched my major several times....

I dunno we'll see I've been in school forever... and besides accounting is way less challenging mentally and still pays good... well I suppose I have to memorize a bunch of BS in accounting which is challenging w/e.
People have been telling me to finish it for as long as I can remember.

Hey DUM DUM MIAMIVirgo. You said you graduated in Economics. Ya mkay.
Definition of 'Return On Investment - ROI'
A performance measure used to evaluate the efficiency of an investment or to compare the efficiency of a number of different investments. To calculate ROI, the benefit (return) of an investment is divided by the cost of the investment; the result is expressed as a percentage or a ratio.
OK you got me. I should have put "on" instead of "of."
Bachelor's and currently working on a Juris Doctorate(law degree).
Currently getting my bachelors in Software Engineering.
Bachelor in Urban Studeies..Dual Concentration-Planning and Economic Development
Starting a graduate Psychology Program in August-Diversity And Inclusion
I notice that people not just on DXP but in RL that do not have degrees do not see the value in them. That might explain why they could not be bothered to get one.
I got mine after working for a few years and always having to say "no I never finished or not yet or I'm still in school" by the time I was 30ish people were looking at me like um yea ok...
There were also jobs that stated "Bachelors degree required"
To each his own ..I am up to my neck in student loan debt but I would probably do it all again. That piece of paper hanging on my wall at home gave me more confidence than I could have ever imagined.

What about common sense and logic with a degree?
I don't care where anyone has traveled or what degree they have. If you don't have common sense you're screwed.
Either you have it or you don't...all the money in the world won't buy you a degree in it either.
That's a FACT.
