I earned an associates degree using veteran's benefits before my time ran out, after having initially dropped out of school two months into the freshmen year of high school. While education doesn't necessarily make a person smarter, it does have the potential of making someone more knowledgeable of the different subjects they studied. In analogy, you could hand a set of wrenches to two different people. One won't be able to change a tire, while the other will probably change an engine...it's all in what they do with the tools. Meanwhile, hopefully the other guy will have found a profession where he will be able to pay someone to change his flat tires for him. Life is a path with lots of twists, turns, and forks along the way. The best anyone can do is not to get lost in the journey. 

High school graduate with 50+ years OJT.

Don't remember hearing of colleges - universities yes. Nowadays many colleges have been named universities. Even know of a young guy going to college studying Astro-Physics - my neighbours grandson. 

I do. I put myself thru college when I was working as an LPN---- in the 80s.

I know...it makes you a tradesman? :)

6 months short of a degree,had to postpone and never ended up going back, though the study was in the field I now work in, I have found none of the information to be of any consequence here. We still have students come through and the best advice I can give them is to forget the books and concentrate on what we have to work with, and those we are trying to help,which are by no stretch of the imagination text book material, nor can they be lumped into categories

yes

Come on what sort of a stupid question is that, college degree, really.

It is of no surprise to learn everyone on this site is holding a college degree, be it some Ivy League college orThe College of lifes` Experience, The College of Hard Knocks, The college of on the Job Training.

Surely you knew that, don`t you read the deep meaningful answers on here, c`mon?

Education starts the moment you leave your place of learning, no amount of "education" can replace years on experience.

Some people get a Masters in a subject and a failure in life.

Go Hoosiers!

Yes, B.A. and K-12 teaching credential.  My GPA was terrible. 

I went from a useless piece of crap high school kid to getting masters studying psychology, microbiology, and genetics. I actually had job in high school making more money than my teachers did. Didnt want to go to college at that time. Got tired of working hard like a slave then went to college.

Not me but I have had some college just been working since I was 16 and guess I will be working till I die.

NO.but served my time as a Telephone maintenance engineer with British Telecom .Know then as Post office Broke up .Telecom now know as BT.

The very best business never did go to college. That was back then. Now is a different story.

No college degree here,just the school of hard knocks.My father was a school teacher before he went to work in the steel mills and he wanted each of us four kids to go to college and not one of us went,go figure...But it was his # 1 rule while we were still at home,we must finish high school,which we all did.Should have listened to the old man.And he had the monies set aside for us to go also,but still a no go.

Funny how we see so little importance to VERY IMPORTANT things, when we are kids. On the other hand, some kid tells us they don't like the hat we're wearing today, and that's good for a week of discussion! haha

I have two AA degrees: Early Childhood Education and  Addiction Specialist

I lived across the street from a lovely junior college nestled in the trees. After getting those degrees, I’d just walk across the street at the beginning of a semester and take whatever pleased me. (Night classes)  I took ALL the psychology classes and many art classes. It was the fun of my life but I don’t know that it helped me financially. (Maybe a little)

I don’t know if I could have gotten a BA ~ I couldn’t pass Algebra. (But I wrote an excellent funny article about my experiences in the Algebra class.) 

My education nor my occupation say nothing about who I am. I can say I have learned more by living than school has ever taught me.

I have a Doctorate in Life Skills.  LOL yvonne57
