I agree with the article full heartedly. I'm 24, so coming from the younger generation I see a lot of facts in that article. Fortunately, I learned how the world really runs and did not buy into the whole college degrees WILL give you a great job with a great salary. Being a member of this forum I've generally noticed that our pursuit of a college diploma is more so to supplement the skills we already have and to just amuse employers during the application and interview process. There is more to be said these days about work ethic and what you can bring to the table than how many degrees you may hold. This is of course my opinion and I am in no way trying to take away from the importance of getting a degree. I just believe many people my age and younger need to realize this before they start wasting thousands of dollars and years of their life on a whim that their diploma guarantees them their hopes and dreams, when it merely just gets them in the door. Thanks for sharing the article with us.
