Yea, but its one of those double edge swords though, people want people with a degree but they also want people with experience. How are you supposed to get experience if you are going to college or vice versa. B

Always wondered about that myself..For the longest time (up here anyway) they were taking 2 year Degrees over practical experience...Especially true if the CEO and other board members are all college educated..

I worked my job for 12 years before taking advantage of work paying for college. My company no longer pays the whole amount of college, only a portion. I got done just in time. It was worth the education, but my company gave out no financial awards for completing, other than paying the tab in the first place.

I guess I was luckier, we had to maintain a C average, although I graduated with a 3.56 average. I had trouble with Trig and Calc as I went through a divorce, and C programming, for some reason. Other than that, only Literature gave me much trouble.

You had trouble with Trig and Calc??? I wasn't able to get through shop math..Thankfully the GED had mimimal math skills and I was able to pass..

Yeah, but to speak it down a bit, it was Trig and Calc for Computer Science ... not full blown Trig and Calc
