[QUOTE="montesa, post: 3626308, member: 477"] Me too. Wish I would have understood that. I worked my fingers to the bone. I didn’t get a degree but there were many classes I needed to be competitive, like trigonometry/calc, college writing and communication, and I would never have had the discipline to learn on my own then. I’ve worked under people with no degrees that were so high up they wouldn’t bother remembering my name. They were simply excellent, charismatic and highly intelligent. In fact, my last two bosses had much less formal education than I do. They were just better at everything. Totally. This discussion is more about the cost of college. Notice I differentiate college and education. Education has to be life long. I know I’m mentally lazy now. I have a hard time sitting down and focusing on something I’m not completely interested in. That won’t work for me long term and college will help you train to be that person. At one time it did at least. Like taxes or Spanish. I haven’t spent the time to learn like I should. [/QUOTE]
