How many great writers had rhetoric degrees?
how many great artists had fine arts degrees?
I think education has become a very empty and expensive status symbol, especially since, at least in the US universities have been remarkably dumbed down....most families or students have to go into debt to finance their education and thus are sent out into the world with a 10,20, 30K in debt...
but unfortunately, most companies require a degree for entry level exec jobs ...
and unfortunately its an easy superficial way to say you're educated "i graduated from so and so"
from a certain class "I was up at so and so"
All that said, I had a few professors that made the four years worth it.
depends what you want to do I don't know,...did Mother Tersea have a degree
so its not neccassary unless you wanted to do some sort of research or something that absolutely requires a degree by law - like being a lawyer...
