well, if your dad is a billionaire higher position, you might be ok. I think a college degree will make certain that you can get some kind of a decent job somewhere. knowing how to **** might help, but it's not certain. the college degree is the only thing that is certain out of the three.

degree doesn't guarantee anything, if you have a philosphy degree you will be working at mcdonalds along with all the other un-educated idiots
that's not true at all. you can be a substitute teacher with a degree. or sell insurance. or any other field that requires "a college degree". the other un-educated idiots can't.

does a degree always guarantee a job in the field that it is in?
thats probably the hard part.

V-6 is for real drivers. Go buy a Jetta if you want gas mileage and a chicks car. Buy a V-8 Mustang if you have no driving ability and need the extra horsepower to compensate and feel like you''''re fast.
what the hell, you people are wierd in the US a "degree" up here is only good if it is in a respectable field
why the **** do you need a college degree in fine arts to sell insurance?
because it's proof that you can commit to a 4-year long goal and finish it. hell if I know, but I'd rather have a guy with a f.art degree than a guy with a GED.

I would rather have the guy with the ged at least he knows he's stupid, the people with the arts degrees like to pretend they actually know something

Actually, you don't need a degree to be a sub. teacher. You can be working on one and still be a Substitute Teacher. And what does a degree say anyway? I mean, I comitted to 4 years in the military. Does that mean that since I don't have a degree I won't commit to anything?
at least the guy with the art degree might actually be able to write a formal sentence correctly. if you're looking for a person with a college degree, you obviously don't want a dumb guy. but yeah, I know what you mean about an art degree.

Usually in the long run, it's who you know. A degree will certainly help get your foot in the door, and the ability to sling the ol' cow pies is an invaluable skill, but inevitably, it comes down to who you know and who you blow.

uhm... if you have a college degree, it generally means you can communicate with the world effectively, whether it is by writing or talking. generally.

I know carpenters with BSs. I know plumbers with BSs.
You can't work as a teacher in Massachusetts without a teaching certificate. And boy do you gotta jump through hoops to get one. But the starting pay isn't bad, and there are openings. Just buy a bulletproof vest.
A college degree shows an ability to apply yourself. Some degrees in fields such as engineering are a guarantee of reaching at least some respectable level. But many of those jobs have distinct ceilings, or they require all your time for true advancement.
Who you know can be key. If they can set you up in an untouchable position you're set. But that's a hard thing to do in the new millennium. Plus, who you know can go down in flames and take you with them. You could be a victim of a pogrom. Or your sponsor could retire. Or die. Seadaddies don't last forever.
Being a class-A number 1 Bullschitter will get you through anything. Anything at all. It's like being coated with Teflon. At any time, in any spot, in any malfunction you may find yourself in, you can just switch gears and come out smelling like the proverbial rose.
Its a package deal. In order to be successful, you need a college degree and then be able to **** to get the job. Resume gets you noticed, its you that gets the job.

hey! that's not the question. that's the kind of answer a bullsh*tter would give.
