I Don't Think a College Degree Always Indicates Intelligence

I am going to start a degree course in September. In my case it does not indicate intelligence. It’s Art and Design. A bit of intelligence and then create!

The world is full of moronic Phd.s ... to get a degree you need to listen, memorize, and then parrot back. So few are those who truly think!

@Hepsie MBA means Master’s in Business Administration.

Having an MBA or PhD doesn’t make you an idiot if you’re not one to start with and it doesn't rescue you from being an idiot if you are.

The insistence on post-graduate education is fairly new (thirty years or so) and many people who ‘came up through the ranks’ were often passed over for promotion because although they had the experience, they didn’t have the degree. And those who didn’t come up the ladder had the degree but no Experience. It bred a lot of resentment and in many cases rightly so.

Ok. Thank you for explaining. I do understand but I am an Art student in a college that is so lovely. It’s like a family, @Mamapolo2016

Some of the greatest contributors that shaped the world as we know it were without degrees and in some cases with very little formal schooling. Thomas Edison and Henry Ford to name a couple. Education and college degrees are great, but not everything.

What kind of art and design takes your fancy?
I love to create. I've used my creativity more in my non-creative career (overseas aid) than you'd imagine. But on the side I paint in oils, write, build and play harps and musical instruments... many other things.

You are so creative. I am going to do Fine Art and Ceramics. I love your job. Overseas aid. I want to be an Art Therapist. Use Art to help others. I love writing in case you hadn’t noticed. I also love music. I play clarinet. Classical and jazz! Keep in touch! @Abstraction

When I was taking beginner sculpture class, my instructor said that there is a college professor who teaches art and he have NO degrees.... But he is famous for his art work.... So yeah, college degrees are not necessarily, especially for art
