Here is some info\n\nhttp://www.collegegrad.com/careers/manag03.shtml\n\n\nAs far as colleges go, just about an university will be good. It's a pretty basic degree that you need to get that can get you a job in advertising, marketing and P.R. so any college will offer the classes you need. But read that website scroll down to the "Training, Other Qualifications,\nand Advancement" headline for job specific degrees!! :)

Education is a result of experience, we learn from our experiences and through them.  Without our intitial experience during childhood, we would have had the hardest time learning, because we use our experience as our reality.  This experience is also the foundation of our education.  Now, we all have an obligation to go through schooling for a certain amount of years.  Some go to higher education and others don't.  Going through higher education gives you a wealth of experience of having fun and meeting new people.  One who did not go to get higher education is just as more likely to go through a similar experience.  Our society however needs proof of how reliable of a person you are, and what better way than to see what kind of education you have had.  It sucks, but it's the reality, right?  Of course, if your long term goal in life is to become rich, you will never be rich.  If you want to be rich, you will find many ways, even without having the education.  An employer should go by both, and they do check your experiences and education.  If however an employer requires that you need at least a BA or BS degree, and you do not have one but have lots of experience, they should choose which ever weighs more.\n\nBut no doubt, i believe experience is more important in life.

I've never used any of it.  I went through my college bit by bit and took coursed just because the opportunities came up.  I can honestly say I learned more by doing things than sitting in a classroom and it's just a certificate now.  I own my own businesses and even though my degree is in business it would only help if I worked for me.  I guess I use some of the accounting, but then again I learned Quick books for that.  I had fun though.

It is a good investment.  You generally make much more over your lifetime with a degree than without one.  The difference in what you would make with compared to without is far greater than the cost of the schooling.

You need a degree. the word diploma brings a notion of low education. even though its for a PC repair tech, it stills comes across as uneducated. Forget the online crap and either go to a real school or pray you get hired somewhere.

College is for the life experience.  If you want to work for someone then go to college.  If you want to start up your own company and be your own boss, then you really don't need it.  You just need a good idea, a good personality, and pit bull tenacity.

You will need a degree or certificate to get a good job. Many 2 year colleges have a degree that is quicker to obtain and you can start working right away, Good luck.

On-line degrees are being recognized as an alternative to traditional school degrees.  The one thing to watch out for is what are called "diploma mills".  These are scam operations being run out of someones basement and they offer you degrees based on your past work experience and classes taken.  You will get a diploma (suitable for framing - or lining a bird cage) and a transcript for classess you have not taken.\n\nUsing some of these degrees to get a job can get you fired once the company does a background check on your credentials. Most companies now a days specify that you need a four-year degree from an acredited institution.  \n\nPlease check out this website prior to enrolling in an on-line university so you don't waste your time and money.\n\nhttp://www.ope.ed.gov/accreditation/

I am not sure you would need to go to college. most of those jobs are ot the job training. Security, cust. service, flight attendents have their own school..It depends on what you want to do...A business degree might help. You need to decide exactly wht job you want and then research that..wages, education, etc.

Hi,\n\nThe purpose is two fold, the first vocational; to help you get a more rewarding job, the second, and perhaps more important, to educate you. Education is of value in itself. Without education a man can only know what he can find out by trial and error in his life, with education he, to quote Isaac Newton, sees farther because he stands upon the shoulders of giants.\n\nThere is far more which, if you study, you will discover.\n\nHope that helps. PP\n\nPS. the social life rocks too

It can go either way. I good place to start is looking into courses at your local community college. More education background is always a good thing.

I think depends on what kind of careers you are talking about.\n\nAny specialized degree like MD, engineer and architech definitely require certain degrees to obtain the job. But something like journalism, photography, marketing..it is a good idea to have a degree, but not required. \n\nI graduated with a degree in journalism and omg, I have met so many people out there with more experiences and all without any degree, but make more than me, can do better than me over times. So in my case, I don't think degrees are that important.

Simply put, no... it will not be recognized to the same degree that a 'real' bachelor's degree will be.  Many positions that requires a BS/BA will not even consider you for employment, that doesn't mean that none will; just that most won't.  Online degree's overall are looked upon as lessor than a degree given at a physical institution. (a degree for life experience would be even more so)  This doesn't mean that the education is bad, but some online school's have... questionable practices when it comes to issuing diploma's and degree's... this carries over to all of the legitimate online schools and the effect is the same; online degrees are less valuable and often looked down upon when it comes to real life employment.  Especially when it comes to sciences, psychology included.

The ways counselors guide college/university students through their system is really backwards.  A person should identify what kind of lifestyle they want.  Lifestyle is defined in varying degrees of security, money, and time.  You need to identify that first.  What and how much do want of each? This should help you with the degree that you have already gotten.  There should be something in the biology field that would meet your requirements.  If you really truly don't want to be in the biology field, still identify your lifestyle requirements, and choose studies that would place you in that career path.  It will also help motivate you b/c you already know what your end result will be.  One other thing is to go out and find and interview people who have already been in that particular field for 5 plus years.  They will also be able to help you b/c of their own experience.  Remember wisdom is learning from someone else's experience.

First, I would say to check the degree reqirements specified by your community college.\n\nSecond, if you are planning to go on for a BA, when given a choice at your community college, take the most rigorous academic courses you can.  That means math as opposed to auto repair, or language courses instead of cosmetology.  There is nothing wrong with learning how to fix a car or cut hair, but they are less likely to lead to a four year degree.

Being a good student is not a certificate for being a good worker. I know many individuals who were not so good students but they excel in their fields of work. All you need to do is search for a right type of Job that will suit your interest and you can also excel in your field. I understand high percentage do play a very crucial role, but once you are onboard it is your skill which will decide your future.
