It is not so much the knowledge itself that you learn from a college degree that is important.  It is the maturing process of learning how to learn, and where and how to find information if you don't know it.  Getting a college degree broadens the mind and gives one a different perspective on life.

do you specificall mean Science... because if you went to school, at one point of another you took some form of science... as far as college... one can get a degree in either a Bachelor of Science or Art... bot are considered to be that a person was educated.

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.

Yes it does, quite often kids can help parents learn how to use new technological gizmos that are becoming common place now but were hardly things they used...e.g. ipods\n\nPlus knowledge takes quantum leaps from better research and new technology. So it would make sense that students or grads would be able to educate their parents on new thinking...

Being "something" in life doesn't require a lot of study. Humans are interactive--so if you want to be something, take care to learn how to reason logically, and act responsibly. This means that if you take an interest in learning how to relate to people with logic and sincerity, you may have good friends and enjoy your family (remember that a career is not the "end all" solution to being a grown up.) I have seen many "brilliant" people who have studied two and three post graduate degrees, but couldn't tell you how interesting their life has been (or don't even want to, because they think so highly of their "achievements.") Personal development must be balanced with a formal education. And then your will find success. I found some interesting articles on civil service posts. This may be the key to your question. Good luck!

Certainly! College degrees are handed out today like candy at Halloween. Colleges and universities lose funding if students fail, so they have a powerful financial interest in seeing to it that even the most ignorant, illiterate moron gets a degree. \n\nNow,...your question should read; "If someone says they have a college degree, but still talks like a barrio rat, would you believe they "Actually Earned" that degree"?

One of the more useless college degrees when seeking employment. Others include communications, management, art history, and philosophy. Most political science majors go to law school.

No.  There are ways to get some college credit for life experience, but not a complete degree (other than an honorary one).

A college degree of any kind isn't useless.

It depends.  Actually, it depends on a lot of different things.  A doctorate degree is good, but only if you really love your subject of study and plan on pursuing a career in academia.  If you are trying to make a crap-load of money, maybe a doctorate is not for you, unless you plan on using your expertise and opening up your own business, etc....most people who have doctorate degrees teach because they love their subject and they want to share their knowledge with others.  There is no set "best" degree to have.  It all depends on personal preference and whatever suits your situation.

It's a learning experience.  If you can gain some understanding to what others think it better helps you in your life and how you deal with people.  Knowledge is power.

Your career opportunities are vast compared to those without a college diploma.  Consider yourself fortunate if you have a college diploma, because you will be able to select from different careers regardless of the major you've graduated from.\n\nIn addition, college teaches you the discipline for the problems you will encounter in the real world.

If you are doing it for college, it might be a better choice to look up the information yourself.  The assignments given in college are so that you can graduate with a broader spectrum of knowledge.

True some courses are not related to your major but all knowledge is beneficial it helps make you well rounded. If all you studied were courses directly pertaining to your career could you converse with say a rocket scientist if there is no common ground? Every course helps open new areas of interest and could even affect you in such a powerful way as to make you change your career goals..

Got a B.A. in it, currently in grad school. It's a fascinating combo or art and science, which provides for a bridge between the hard sciences and all the New Age/ Spiritual/ Nontraditional thinking - AND you get to apply the knowledge right away on people around you!
