if you talk about a org hierarchy , you find that, someone is giving the target and giving the training to complete the task.

and what in the world does that have to do with being aware of one's potential.

They create own rules and define the pace of folk, who so ever is working for them. they do not need any supervisor, they do not ask the way to go ......

thank you for not making any sense.

EMPLOYERS made their rules.

it might not be making any sense for you\\\\\\ Thanks for not grasping....

if anyone finds his "answer" even somewhat relevant to my question,
please explain.

it matters unless you are born into money, an entertainer of some sort, or a professional athlete


in other words, OUTSIDE of Hollywood, in order to compete you need the papers,,,

or a great invention

um no you don't. Plenty of Trades you can get jobs in and training as you go
and they pay great. Funny how many people go into University for a degree and
you ask what they're going to do when they get out and they don't know. Getting
a degree in no way guarantees you a job at all. Especially these days. Nowadays the
key to a good paying job is more who you know then what you know it seems.

its a global market, the 'who you know' crowd is also filled with those who have DEGREES who are going to beat out those who dont

No, it doesn't, but having a degree gives you better odds of getting a decent paying job, even in trades where degrees or certification are not required, earning a degree or certification can greatly increase your earning potential. Of course, you also have to have a clear career plan.

I'm just saying it can only do you good to further your education.

A degree means you have an education of some sort. It means you started something and completed it.

It does not give you an automatic job and the high life.

Yes there are a lot of drop out millionaires. And a lot of folks with advanced degrees are looking for jobs, especially these days.

But nine times out of ten finishing school is going to give you a leg up over someone who didn't.

AT THE VERY LEAST A GOOD EDUCATION MAY TEACH PEOPLE NOT TO YELL!!!

It means you spent alot of money and put up with a plethora of horse shiit. I know this as I am living the dream right now.

That's what I was trying to say.

Edudcation is always a good thing and will get you interviewed over someone who doesn't have one. A degree guarentees nothing. It is how you apply any knowledge that you have obtained. Example would be a skilled plumber would make more than someone with a phd in social services..........

K now I'm curious to know lol how many people here have a degree?

I do not have a degree. I've worked in research and development in the polymer industry as well as the IT field.......

The only certifications that matter are the ones that your own company holds. How you get there does'nt matter, only that you did.

A Degree matters only if you want to be well educated in living by somebody else's rules.

College is'nt for Entreprenuers. Seriously. If a person has that special drive, they will succeed eventually without it.

Technical training or professional schooling will help prepare you with specific skill sets sure, but what you do with those skills is up to you.

No job out there that you can go to school for will make you rich, yet some college graduates seem to have this illusion that they are entitled to a job just because they paid (or are still paying) for school.



I will hire college students, but will rarely ever consider hiring a college grad under the age of 40.

I always tell those kids to focus on what they do well not what they'd like to do, until they make enough money to do what they want.

sorry it's kind of like an ancient secret, can't explain or everybody would be rich and that's no fun.

I know brilliant people with no formal education and idiots with advanced degrees. A degree isn't necessarily an indicator of your intellect, but it does open doors that might otherwise remain closed. After the door opens, it's up to the individual to prove the worth of their degree or lack thereof.
