Members GYBE! Posted February 4, 2007 Members Share Posted February 4, 2007 Awarded?How about earned? Same difference, but it is typically refered to as being awarded. Even on the official forms that I have to turn into the grauate school it is listed as "Degree to be awarded" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rememberduane Posted February 4, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 4, 2007 In many ways, formal education is a bit overrated IMO, It depends what you plan on doing. Some of the smartest people that I have ever met have nothing more than a GED and little to no College and conversely, Ive met College graduates that can barely set their alarm clocks...There are so many resources to learn from these days, the only thing in the way IMO is ones appetite for knowledge and his or her desire to seek it.... Very true words, although there are some people, like myself, who learn vastly more when put in a good university setting in which there are human resources to tap such as fellow students and of course great professors. I read constantly, very informative stuff, but I feel I've learned much more from conversations with the many people I have at hand here who know much more than I do. The other problem is that it's much harder to get your foot in the door without that sheet of paper. I think professionally, you have a much harder road without the degree, even if you are ostensibly far more qualified for a given job. Just my observations.

Members rememberduane Posted February 4, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 4, 2007 I also think you have it right Kage. I am the dumbest person when it comes to doing regular daily things. If you want me to conclude logical thought progressions i will be great, if you want me to wear my socks and shoes , i will be a mess. And by the way, i had a beer , so i don't know what logical thought progressions might be I almost never wear matching socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a blessing in disguise that my mom had a very bad family life and never had the chance to go to college or even finish high school -- she is and always has been hellbent on her children getting college diplomas. She always said she didn't care what we did afterwards (she obviously does, but you know), but that we have to get our college degrees and if she kills herself working she will help us to do so financially. My dad has to go along with that to stay out of the doghouse (or hotel). As a truck driver, do you ever listen to audio books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you. I mean, college is definitely a great source of learning and I think everyone should be able to go. Unfortunately, in today's society, people without colleges degrees are given little credibility. I know very smart people who never went to college. I definitely think that experience is the best teacher period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
