Short answer, no...\n\nLong Answer: I am a college graduate, having done the traditional after-high-school approach. I have been in the market place for many years so here is my opinion, for what it is worth. \n\nCOllege is not for everyone. Some people should NOT go, only because their head is not in the right place to learn and utilize the knowledge to "learn how to learn". What that means is something you already know. Hard work, perserverance, and theh ability to learn are the keys to success. The college degree is an evidence of that, but not a guarantee. There are many educated derilicts in the world, many from ivy league where the degrees have essentially been purchased with little demand for performance. The party school is almost considered a right of passage, and I think it is a disgrace to all that did it the right way. \n\nAs a person who interviews people for hire, I know that a college degree will be a proof of study, and I admire some schools over others for their ability to turn out good candidates. BUT, the ones with work experience are highly prized, degree or not. \n\nSO,  FOR YOU..\n- If you need an entry level job- get a degree ...YOU specifically  don;t need it for this\n- If you need the education for a particular skill in business, engineering, healthcare- get a degree....YOU do not need it for your own businesss, but it could help you grow. A good book or partner  could help also\n- .If you need to have a need to compete in the workplace for promotion in the future - the degree will be an asset for promotion in many areas - YOU may need it, but not for your own business\n- If you need the sense of self accomplishment - the degree is a source of pride- clearly, YOU don;t need it. \n\nIf you still want one, night school is always available. NOBODY questions whether you partied with the frat boys all day or  worked your @ss off at night plus day. \n\nThe degree can be an asset to a better paycheck, in general...but some have been successful without it. Bill Gates is a college dropout for instance. I do notice that you are working very hard to be successful...will you need to do that all your life? A degree may allow an income without 18 hour days eventually \n\nSounds like your head is on straight, enjoy your life and don't worry about what others think. Your parents understand the conventional wisdom of college degree = success....The problem is, that is not conventional wisom anymore. DO they want the degree for their pride or for yours?

Excellent  grades.  You could get in a elite college if you maintain those types of grades.  Well done high school\nstudent!

to continue would improve your career and would make you more successful, however many companies won't be able to pay what you're worth because of your education and if you are doing it for the money you should give it a try, when it comes to math, you won't go wrong if you continue, good luck!

I like the B.A. myself, I think it is more rounded, but a B.S. is more traditional for a science related field.  In general, however, most employers won't care much one way or the other.

First, you should ask your guidance counselor at your school and also ask your schools art and music teachers. Don't be afraid to ask. They are there to help you succeed.\n\nMy advice to you is to look into schools with Theater Arts or Performing Arts majors. This is a very important decision you have to make about your future and working in the arts. I have 25 years experience in art and now wished that I had someone that knew the full spectrum of career paths. There are many good schools to learn "theater arts". \nJulliard is a well known school for the performing arts but you might also might want to think about getting your Masters degree in Arts Management in addition to your undergraduate degree in theater arts. With the masters of arts management degree you will be able to do dance when you are young and also be qualified to move into management when you are older. Perhaps managing a theater on broadway or at a Las Vegas hotel show.\n\nDon't worry about the cost right now. There are many government loan programs that allow you to borrow the money now and repay it over 10 years. Ask your University about the student loans.\n\nHere's some links to art schools:\nhttp://www.juilliard.edu/\nhttp://www.arts.emory.edu/\nhttp://www.fullerton.edu/arts/\nhttp://rcca.camden.rutgers.edu/\nhttp://arts.osu.edu/\nhttp://www.uarts.edu/ug/pa/the/\nhttp://www.calarts.edu/\nhttp://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Music-and-Theater-Arts/\n\nHope this helps! good luck

You should do what you want to do, not what others think you should.  If you like commerce, you wouldn't do science just because people tell you to, would you?  Think about the options available to people with your qualifications and decide accordingly.  Needless to say, it's always better to get a B.Com after 12th.

There is nothing that says you have to go to school in your case.  Plenty of people are successful without college. You should look at what you want to do for a job and base your decision on that.  Would you go to school if it guaranteed you higher wages in the future and for the rest of your life?  Find your reason for going to school and theres your motivation.  If you don't find a reason, then you might as well save your money.

Encourage education and finishing college first.  Make it a deal, you can play music as long as your grades are maintained (whatever you decide that should be).  \n\nMy son played in a very popular local Seattle band. We fought him tooth and nail to finish college.  The band was on its way signed with a major record company, when the lead singer and his best friend died tragically.  I cannot tell you how happy his now that he earned his degree.\n\n Music is great and full filling, but very few make it as a career.

If you can find a good job with a high salary preferably through campus placement, then yes, you ought to take it.\n\nElse it is better to go for higher education.\n\n\nActually the answer depends on whether you can afford higher education after B.Tech without a job.

I suggest you take M.C.A. Now, M.B.A degrees are not that worth that it had been some years back. Moreover, M.C.A would be like a continuation (getting deeper into the subject) of your B.C.A degree.

Judging from your spelling and use of the English language, I think you should stay in school a while.  Remember, what you learn is totally up to you!  You actually don't need a gym, cafeteria, sports team, or cheerleading to learn anything you set your mind to.  If you don't feel the teachers are presenting you with enough material, get some more on your own.  Sure, you could get your GED and then proceed to learn whatever you want without the school, but there are at least 2 problems with that.  First, if you are depending on someone else to teach you now, you probably won't take the initiative to learn on your own after you quit school either.  Second, there is a stigma attached with having a GED that will make it hard to be taken serious when trying to get a job.  Why do that to yourself?  Stick it out.  Go over and beyond what's expected of you.  I really believe you'll be glad you did.

In the long run, school. It will allow you to have one job that will most likely pay more than both of the others. If you need to take a semester or year off for your sanity, by all means, do so. Just be sure to go back and finish your degree afterwards.
