I, in no way, put down an education. I went to college and, given the time & opportunity today would go back & get a degree. However, life is the best teacher, assuming your willing to learn.

Surprised,figured you already had a B.S. in Political Science. :swing:


:bolt:



j/k
 
bsc (hons) architecture, barch architecure, mphil architecture and urban design

currently working on my ma architecture: professional studies which i should have in a year or so. before i get that i should be dip. arch qualified by june.

i was hoping that if i got 2 masters degrees i could trade them in for a doctorate but apparently they don't allow that ;). i guess i'll have to get a phd in the future some time to complete my set.
 
Bachelor in computer system engineering.
Half master in electrical sciences (on next August i'll get the degree).

I completely agree.

Finishing a Bachelors in MIS, with minors in Computer Science and Management.

It has to be learned. This by no means implies that you can't learn it in college.
 
Ok, who's got the PHD? Come on fes up. I wanna know what someone with a PHD is doing hangin' around this deranged place.
 
Currently in my second year in High School(actually Gymnasiet, Andra Ring, but it's pretty much equal to the American High Scool). Aiming as high as I can, preferrably something post-college.

hmmm... I can account for two of the masters... but the PhD is a quandry.
 
I, like many, started in one major and switched. I hated to waste all those classes though, so I kept it as a minor. Hence, I have a BS in Psychology with a minor in Special Education and (the original major) Recording Industry Management. So if anyone knows of an autistic rock star in need of therapy, I'm your boy! :nerd:

Exactly. A piece of paper means nothing to me. Its what was learned that counts, and its been my experience that all too often the paper replaces what was learned.

Unfortunately correct. It's the learning that's the important part. Unfortunately many people never learn that. :shrug:
 
Your degree opens doors for further experience which would remain closed without that qualification. That's what it's for.

Masters degree Finance, here, and it's opened a shitload of doors.
 
I'm packing a stack of certificates that would boil down to a pair of DEC degrees. If the Gov't recognised the programs I took. Same courses, same exam, same school. No gym classes means no DEC. Like I give a rat's ass. I open doors with reference letters from past bosses and clients.
 
I'd agree with Gonz with one exception. Yes, real life experience will give you more knowledge than a degree can BUT without that little bit of paper and the 'basics' that you can get from school...nobody is going to give you the opportunity to get a job that'll give you that real-life experience.

There are some that are lucky...some generous soul hires them without a degree and without prior experience...but it's the exception that proves the rule.

I used to triage Résumés/Curriculum Vitaes for a while. When you've got 100CVs on your desk for one job... the ones without the degree get filed into the round file damn quickly.
