Waste of time & money.

I have three grown kids. Youngest is 16

Both of my older got 3 year degrees. Business mgmt and construction mgmt

Neither of them needed those degrees to get their current jobs.

โ€”My youngest (16) will assume a mgmt roll with his current tenure not a bullshit certification.

This is how I feel, most degrees are bullshit. It's just monetary extraction, padded course content, lack of actual hands-on experience. I want to see an actual degree that is worth it, the contents of which could not be obtained elsewhere.

Being able to show up. Be on time. Complete a task.

As well as being able to be creative in figuring out how to do those things.

No college needed.

At least not the current college we have. Save your money.

My B.S. degree is kinesiology.

I became a personal trainer at a hospital for a time out of college, I didn't need a degree for that.

Shortly after, I promoted to Fitness Specialist (worked with medically complex clients referred by Drs) and ran 2 locations and departments. Even though I spent hours a day watching videos from industry leaders and reading, I likely would not have gotten that promotion without a degree. I also would not have had the knowledge because I wouldn't have had the curriculum requiring me to learn things that didn't interest me.

Don't know that I wasted money, but certainly wasted time and didn't make money, connection, strong habits when I could have been working far harder than I was.
