Degree in Real Estate and Risk Management is directly related to my career.
However, college doesn't teach you skills for your job more than it prepares you to "finish the drill" and be a problem solver more than a problem maker for your employer.
Ignorance is a choice. All of the information to do one's work is available in books, on the internet, and in company training.
When hiring, I'm more likely to take the applicant with achievements and recognition over the applicant with a degree (and nothing standing that individual out above the rest of the graduating class).

In alot of cases it is simply a piece of paper. How best to ensure you qualify for all possible positions in your career field than to ensure not only do you have a degree on your resume but have the experience to back it. I spent 4 years in the military, over 10 years in IT, I can build networks in my sleep yet some jobs still require that I have wasted time and money on a degree that didn't enhance anything about my ability to do my job or "finish the drill" . The best thing about my degree is that when my children are older I can show him that his mother and I both graduated college and help him succeed. I am not against college but it's not really the end all be all in the job market.
