    I spend about an hour or two a week doing homework and do not study at all. I've been doing pretty good so far.

    Thats a myth.

    Unless going to college to study for particular profession, college degrees
    are a waste of money.

    In the real business world more times than not its who you know not what you
    know that gets you ahead.

    College degree just opens the door at "bigger" companies. Most other
    places are more interested in "experience".

    Agreed 100%, I could of gone to University but chose not to just for those reasons, I get wierd looks when I tell people that I was 2nd from the top in my class when I graduated high school and ended up going towards the trades

    It does help to know someone, it does help to have experience, it does help to have good communication skills, and it does help to have an applicable degree (Music degree for Industrial related career.....probably not....Business, Finance, Info Systems, Engrg, Mgmt....probably so depending). So if you are looking for an Industrial or commercial related career....the CM degree is good.

    Education (like experience, communication skills, who you know) can definitely help you get a job, keep a job, and get promoted. Analogy: think of education like a glove in baseball. Yes you might be able to catch a few of them bare-handed, but do you really want to do it that way the rest of your life?

    My 2 cents.

    I agree 100%. Going to school and not knowing exactly what you are going to do after you grad is kind of a waste.q
    Thats why i didn't go to college right out of high school. I make a pretty good living as a welder and modding LSx's on the side. The one and only reason i decided to go back to school is time. I'm studying to be a 8-12 Math teacher. I'll probably earn about the same as i do welding, but will only work about half as many hours! The wife and i are starting to think about kids and i want to be able to spend as much time as possible with them. What better way than to have the same schedule they have. Wife is an 8th grade History teacher and her job kicks ass! I can't wait to get done and start teaching.
    Plus can you imagine how much garage time i can put in with summers of!!!
