When you're young and fresh out of school, university is a worthwhile exercise - you get to meet new people, useful contacts and are cradled into professionalism with a healthy safety net underneath.
Once you've been out in the field for a few years, it's nigh on pointless.
- Unless, of course, you're going for the kind of job that needs a wax-sealed piece of paper. Design that ain't though.Nairn
- A Bachelor's is a prerequisite on Wall St. for even landing an interview.********
- You're incredibly boring, whoever you are.Nairn
- I think when you are in college and right out of high school, it's more about just getting through the classes (and drinking a lot, of course). I think being older, I'd probably get more out of it, because I'm willing to put more into it than I would have when I was younger. Does that make sense?flickster
- And besides, there are plenty of people in The City who don't have degrees, so stop talking out of your arse.Nairn
- Do you really think they are the ones working on Wall Street?********
- It's not about pieces of paper, but who you know - 'you of all people' (virtual or otherwise) should know that.Nairn
- Wall St. is a meritocracy.********
- Uh huh. OK. Maybe partly.
You probably know as little/much as I do about the subject though, so let's shut up.Nairn - You do learn things in school that you would never have thought of otherwise. It is one way of showing you can followJaline
- certain guidelines, etc.Jaline
- But, Jaline - as I hope you'll discover over the next few years - you'll learn a helluva lot more out there IRL.Nairn
- Of course. But for teaching, you need a degree. Simple. It makes sense too.Jaline
- We'll never agree about this matter, trust me. I just believe that having some kind of formal learning can help out.Jaline
