The Most Successful People Explain Why a College Degree is USELESS

I think a lot of us already realize this. I honestly feel that some employers require degrees because they had to pay for theirs so they exclude people who don't have one (or don't have the right kind). It is almost never a guarantee of success no matter where they graduated from. In fact, some of my best employees have been self-taught non-degree holders.

But yes, Warren Buffett is right, the real value of a big name degree is the brand association and the network, not the education.

My interest in higher education degrees is primarily about meeting personal goals. Secondarily, it is about personal presentation in the eyes of people who see a certain education level as the minimum bar to be taken seriously as a professional. I've come to realize that my desire for a bachelor's degree is really just a stepping stone towards my real goal of a graduate degree (or multiple degrees).
