Do you regret not getting your 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 into my 20's and still working on it. Education is lifelong. Good luck. congratulation, it is good experience jp Yes, but I will go back one day once my boyfriend and I are married and we aren't each paying house notes and all that separtely, that way the money I make can pay for my classes, cause then we won't qualify. I'm working at my bachelors degree, and I would regret not finishing it because I have no general skills right now, and I need my degree to get into my job field. Also, I lack work experience in a decent paying field. However, one of my best friends decided he didnt want to go to college at all, and I tried to talk him out of it. He ended up working at a computer shop, then at a college doing their IT work, and now he works as a partner at a computer programming company. He's 21 and has enough money to buy a 600,000 dollar house. We were talking last weekend, and I told him I eat my words. College was unnecessary for him, because he did well on his own, he had skills that no college could teach him or help with (he's the best computer designer/builder I have ever met.) I have mine and it really hasn't opened any doors for me (yet - hopefully!) Plus there are many accounting programs for a bachelor's degree that you can do entirely online. Plus your company may pay for some of that. Petersons.com YES!!!!!!!! I ABSOLUTELY REGRET NOT GETTING A DEGREE!!! I have 122 hours toward a degree but never finished because of money and family obligations. I should have stuck with it. Now I'm in a job where I earn very little and there is no chance for advancement. All the other jobs around here are the same. I tell anyone that asks (especially late teens) to be sure they stay in school. i wish someone would have told me I would regret it 19 years ago. If only I could go back in time..... |
