Perfectly correct and amen!

A good friend of mine does not have a 4 year degree. But we were rooming together and he worked at a chicken farm packaging eggs. Every evening he'd come back and stunk to high heaven.

But he later landed a job at an alarm monitoring company, calling cops and such when home and business alarms triggered. Later still he got a job editing web pages. He's done nothing but go up and up from there, with no degree.

My dad told us kids once that the reason one goes to college was "to learn how to think". He said what you got a degree in didn't matter so much, though he was an electrical engineer. At least that was his philosophy. This was back in the 70's & 80's. Maybe universities changed since then. I don't know. Surely they are unreasonably expensive now. My parents and older brother felt the degree was a better way to go. I remember resenting my Mom sometimes commenting "you need that piece of paper". I never liked hearing that I was supposed to be essentially enslaved to "a piece of paper", but she was certainly of the older school of thought on the subject, having lived through the depression and with my dad having a life-long job at a major & well established corporation.

I got that piece of paper, my 4 year bachelor of science degree in computer science (abbreviated a "BS" degree, which is an abbreviation I candidly avoid) and with army benefits and a minor pell grant graduated debt free. That paper now sits upstairs in a box, never having been shown to any potential employer and hardly ever seen the light of day since it was handed to me. I could have gone to a tech school and just learned programming. Was it academically worthwhile? I don't know. I certainly would have entered the work force years sooner. I suspect I would have done as well professionally as my friend did, sans chicken stink.

Do what many of us have done, frame your paper and hang it over your toilet.

You'll always have a piece of paper if things go badly.
