Do you have a college degree?

[adamlikesmusic]

This thought just came to mind, and now I'm curious how it'd break down in this community.

[electricsnow]

Still have 24 credit hours left. Wooooo

[Duff]

finished in January. but that 40k piece of paper isn't doing me any good yet.

[lonesomexloveus]

do i have it? yes

do i use it? officially, no

do i need it for this job? no

did it probably come in handy on paper when applying for this job? yes.

[benc]

I've got three. Bahhhhh. Finally done for good. Probably.

[goraiders]

i should soon

[melvinscam]

yup, and i use it everyday.

[murakami]

thinking about hitting up an MBA in Accounting to make my work life even more enthralling than it already is

[thomas]

I'm about to go back to finish mine after a 2 year hiatus. It'll probably take me like 3 more years, since I'm lazy.

[jayeffscene]

Have another year at my acting school, but it's not accredited so it won't be a real degree.

[krepunk]

Studying part time... one year till I have my BSc.

[xfedaykinx]

graduated in '06. im currently going to school at night for a paralegal certificate

[mrc]

haha, so far there is only one idiot... Actually maybe he/she is the only smart one. my degree didnt really do anything for me.

i learned everything i need to know in the first 6 months - year i had the job.

[sgoodcore]

I've got a Bachelor of Information and Computer Science. I use it so that's nice. I'll probably head back for a Masters degree to differentiate myself a bit.

[alex13]

after over 200 hours in classes I finally finished up with just one bachlors. Shit, it's time to start making real money.

[partysmasher]

I studied product design for two years then took a year out as part of the course, got a graphic design job and never returned for my last year. I do get diploma for further education, though.

[go]

Finished last year.

[xadamhudsonx]

Didn't go to college, didn't want to.

[rtw88]

I'll have a bachelors in biology this time next year. I'll probably be a teacher and see how I like that, and decide whether to go to grad school from there.

[hickey]

Yes I have a degree. Yes, I have a career that I wouldn't have without it.

[monk0nuggets]

Yes, in Audio/Radio Production with a minor in Film Studies.

Had a radio job with no future of improvement so I quit and went back to school.

Currently attending UB for Library and Information Studies. Hopefully I'll be a Librarian next year.

[whateverrrr]

I already have a stupid associate's that does absolutely NOTHING. And am paying way too much money for a Bachelor's.

fuck school dude. i am so burnt out on it.

[monk0nuggets]

Every day I regret going to school. It sucks, I'm in between where my parent's made too much for the state to give me any aid, but they don't make enough to help me pay for anything. This year was the first year I got to claim complete financial independence and NYS gave me fucking $66 a semester. Thanks. Thanks a lot.

[mclz]

i have an associates and i'm on my way to getting a bachelors

[mcm1610]

NYS hooked me the fuck up last year. I was offered like 20g and all I needed was 12 or 13.

I have a BA in History and Economics, a teaching certificate, and before I'm done I'll have my master's in SS Educ.

For people saying you don't use the degree, you do. Yes, you learn more in the first 6-12 months of your job becuase no one ever expects you to learn real job skills in college. College is all screening and signaling. All it says is "yes, I have the discipline, organization, and work ethic to get through 4-years of optional schooling, so I can probably do whatever tasks you throw at me fairly well." That's why you can get an art degree and end up owning an architecture firm like my mom's friend. No one gives a shit what your degree is, just... do you have one?
