Can I petition university to give me the college degree I initially enrolled in?

I agree with Mednat, my husband is a tech guy, on the sales side of things. He is thinking of getting a degree (ok, I'm pushing) and if he does, it will only be to check off that box. His years of experience will be what gets him a job, not the degree itself. So it actually does not matter if it's a BSBA, BSIT, CIS, whatever. It's just so that he's not on the discard pile because he doesn't have a degree at some time in the future when he wants a particular job.

And, he's 40 now, and still absolutely no interest in going into management. At all. He would leave and go somewhere else before he would take a job in management. So, not everyone will change their minds about that as they get older. I also did not love management, and would much prefer a job where I didn't have any employees under me (I worked in HR - compensation management). I like sitting at a computer playing with spreadsheets, management just doesn't suit me.

Thanks for this info. I guess that was my reason to get my degree as well- not to end up in the discard pile. It's also been a lifelong goal of mines as well, but I knew I needed it if I wanted to advance into a higher network or technical (desktop support) role. I can't even see myself being a manager, it's definitely not one of my future goals.
