is it time for the october thread yet?

 

what is the rush for october?

 

Halloween duh!!

 

lol. might go to orlando or tampa for halloween

 

Mehhhh......I need a vacation from the economy.....It's like were all watching the country go to hell and can't do anything about it........

I'm debating if continuing to go to school would still benefit me in the end.... I've always been a pretty self-sufficient knowledgable person and don't see that paying more in student loans would actually work out for me.....

Whats the percentage of people getting out of college with a business degree and actually landing a job in the industry within a year?

What i'm really trying to ask is, how many of you after getting your degree actually got the jobs you really wanted? Also, in your honest opinion do you think that after having a few years of experience in the field, did you actually use most of the things you learned in college, or are you still working off learning through real world experience?

 

drop out the money u spend doesnt add up to the job you will get in the end you will be in debt forever learn a trade u will be better off

 

Chad, Ian, W0ady, Ashley, Mike, and most of the members in here that are in professional career, the above post is intended for you....

 

eric is right. my career is 96,000 for school.

 

I never went to college, and I landed the job I wanted... it took me a long time though, because in the technical/computer fields, they really like to see a degree (idk why)
Honestly though, my real-world experience has benefited me a lot more than the schooling that some of my co-workers got.
One of the guys I work with that's almost my exact age usually asks me technical coding questions, even though he went to school for it and I didn't

 

hands on training is always better than reading off a book.

 

This was my exact train of thought for awhile and just needed a quick reality check again....... When I was taking all my Cisco Networking Classes, I knew a majority of the things from Real-World experiences already without even taking any classes.

 

^What field are you trying to get into?

 

holy cow lol

 

As much as I loved computers and networking, when I really thought about it, I couldn't see myself doing it as a career. Now i've been considering getting my business degree, I just don't know if it will benefit me as much as the schools try to make you believe. I've already got a few years of business management under my belt, being a manager for circuit city, Teller supervisor at BofA, and also Me and my parents owning our own contracting company where we used to gross more than $3 Million a year.

I've had alot of real world experience thats brought me to where I am and don't know if finishing and getting my Business degree would benefit me in the end or just leave me in a pool of debt.

Chad, What did you major in?
