Real world experience, like in my field, is worth more than the degree. I do integration/interface development for a major hospital corporation. Like any other applied technical field, real-world experience is extremely valuable. In my field, there are no classes taught in College, nor any certification classes you can take to do what I do. It is all on the job learning, and I have 24 years experience in it. We just hired a new guy right out of college last week, it will take him at least a year before we can turn him loose working on his own projects without assisting in some way.

If I was terminated tomorrow, I would not be out of work long. You just don't find people with integration skills, again, not something taught in any classroom or technical school. And I do enjoy what I do.
Yea, it's worth it in some fields, just not mine. I already have ~$75k worth of flying to do to get hired, on top of my bachelors lol. My grandfather got his bachelors from Ole Miss then got his Masters degree from Michigan State and then went to the Graduate School of Banking at the University of Wisconsin. Definitely worked out for him.

we had several tornados all over the Indy area yesterday if that makes it hurt any less.

So really you are saying your car does NOT need to be washed.

It does though. My boyfriend's friend spent nearly 5 hours detailing my car 3 weeks ago. Hasn't been washed since.

The tornadoes hit a couple towns about 20-30mins from me, one went over my hometown but never touched down thankfully.
