I love how a post promoting education has those kinds of mistakes. =p Otherwise, for fields not looking for a degree (and even many requiring one), the "commitment" sought by employers usually takes the form of job history. I mean... if you are planning on working in a place that doesnt need a degree... why go to college? Maybe I am missing something, but I am not going to get a boats license if I don't plan on ever driving a boat. But, if you are planning on going to a major corporation, a degree REALLY helps when comparing to other possible candidates. The whole reason of my current position is that I went to college after my Bachelors and got my Six Sigma certifications - which lead me to a better pay and position. Zeus posted... Completely untrue. Given that the college industry is based heavily around loans to compensate for rising tuition, etc, the entire system has sometimes been compared to the Housing Bubble. And, of course, many colleges are directly subsidized by the government (in addition to being indirectly subsidized by government-backed loans) I am with you, but my point was that they can charge that much, because people pay for it. It is that simple. --- stuff <cite>Viking_Mudcrap posted [p:909545351] in Are univer...
