Re: Don't need a degree eh? I can truly give a rats behind if someone were to have a degree or not. Question I have is can you pull your own weight? Luckily every job I've had was full of people that could handle theirs. I've seen people with degrees have the deer in the headlights look just as well those without degrees. I'm just tired of people acting like a degree is the holy grail. My wife got a degree and I didn't we are 1 year apart in age and she has never come close to the amount of money I make. In fact, I made more when we got married than she makes right now.
Percentage wise I would have to break it down like this, 60% who you know and 40% of what you can do.
I'm not all saying that a degree is a waste but it doesn't guarantee success nor is that piece of paper big enough to stop the rubber from meeting the road.
