Do you regret not getting a bachelors degree? |
I quit school recently so I could spend more time with my wife. I was working full time and going to school at night for 5 years. I recently graduated a community college with an associates degree. I am not planning to go back to school because my wife and I want to have a baby and I don鈥檛 want to be at school when I could be with my child. People say I will regret it, but I really love my job and I think even if I got laid off or fired I could find another job that paid decent with my accounting experience. I have a stable finance job with a well known company. There鈥檚 a lot of room for me to grow and make more money within the company. Even if I had a degree I wouldn鈥檛 want to leave my job, and getting a degree really isn鈥檛 require for me to move up in the company. Do you regret not getting a degree? Why or why not? Well, if a bachelor's degree is not required at your place of employ, I would not worry about it. Besides, it is not as if you can never return to school, it's just that right now, your family comes first and the job you have is paying the bills and putting food on the table. Grow as much as you can with the company you are working for, if you should decide to attend school again, later on down the road, then you can do that. But do not think that you are making a mistake, you are making a decision that is important for now. Find out if your company sends their employers to school to take advance courses to increase their salaries, there are always alternatives to achieve the same goal. Good luck to you. I have 54 graduate credits, more than enough for an MBA. My wife has a high school dipoma. Due to job situations (she's had better luck staying with one employer, I got laid off at one point and started over, etc.) she earns 20% more than I do. A diploma helps in many ways, but it's not a guarantee. i was one semester from the BS in computer science. i quit and went to work full time. Im a security engineer now making 90k per year. i do not regret not having the degree, and most likely will not return to get it. |
