<p>[QUOTE="John Skelton, post: 3603355, member: 92092"]What I have seen is those who went to college for a specific degree graduated and then didn't make the effort to find where they could apply that degree.

Getting that piece of paper shows that you are able to do the work of getting it that shows your character, your commitment to doing something and willing to spend money getting it done. Sitting around reading books or watching online college courses that don't give you anything simply means you are competent in sitting around reading books and watching videos. Even going to vocational school gives you something beyond a high school diploma.</p><p><br /></p><p>There was a time when you could get by with a high school diploma and an extensive knowledge of computers.
