I settled for my associates a while back, but lately I have been under pressure to try to gain a bachelors. I tried, failed twice. I've honestly had a fair amount of success without it, but I'm worried I'm getting passed over for promotions because I don't have it. I don't have enough money to even try anymore, so why bother?

I think it really depends on the industry that you're in and your specific employer.

If you are not making it in on your skills alone..then it might be necessary.

There is financial aid. Scholarships.

You actually failed twice... is that because you did not make an effort or because it was hard?

If the company you work for values you and has an educational standard for promoting to upper levels make a proposal to Human Resources. Have them fund a 4 year college degree. Plenty of companies do this. The only drawback is that you will most likely have to commit to working for the company for a specific period.

You just answered your own question - the money is holding you back.
@MarmeeMarch not worth going into debt.
@GohantheThird Ah -I understand

I'd say no.

Unless of course the advantages of having a degree outweigh the potentially crippling debt.
