College Degree Or No - Page 3

S3XPanther · 02-25-2012, 10:10 PM

Currently working on my poli sci degree, but that's just a stepping stone towards law school. As a side note, today even with a masters it's still pretty difficult to find work. I've heard of so many grads that end up finding work in a field that had nothing to do with their studies because they couldn't find work in their original field. Sometimes that's a blessing, other times it just plain sucks.

I have been in the Army 17 years and about 3 years ago, I decided to go to OCS and become an Officer. I finish up my BS in PSYC in July.

I have an associate's degree of science from 1994 but didn't need it for my fruits and wine grapes grower and farmer career. I am taking classes for some auto tech certifications because I want to persue a new career in auto mechanics.

Uncle Sam paid for my education, as well as my wife's. She was commissioned right out of college, while I took the 8-years active enlisted "extended" plan first. Two different routes to the same ultimate conclusion: a Camaro (among other things, of course).

I have a B.S. in Criminal Justice, retired Law Enforcement. Made more money in investments in Real Estate over the years and now enjoying the good life from having made great choices.

Associate Degrees in Computer Software Engineering and Electrical Engineering

My 5th · 02-25-2012, 11:36 PM

Masters in Accounting, CPA, CGFM. Went back after 17 years away. Worked full-time, ran my own business and in school full-time. I was 43 when I got my degree. Hardest thing I've ever done--but worth it. I've been on both sides of the Degree/No Degree fence, and while I know a lot of degreed idiots I'd rather have one than not.

David79z28 · 02-26-2012, 12:20 AM

I finally got an Associates Degree at 35, I'm 43 now. My 22 years of experience in my field and my work history contribute more to my income though!!!!

Currently working on Mechanical engineering, but I am slowly wanting to be a business major I got a few good ideas for a business I think would take off, just rather unsure....
