If you have one, does your college degree mean anything to you?

People always throw their degrees in conversation like it’s important.

@YoMomma it’s not because it’s just a trophy. In most professional fields you need the knowledge to get a good job. Despite what people say, you cannot just learn what is out there on your own. You can in some fields, but not in highly technical or scholarly fields.

@Cyclist you can just learn stuff, a degree is just an official paper saying you learned it.. its basically an education reference.

@YoMomma what “stuff” are you talking about? I have a BA and MS in physics. There is just no way I could have learned that on my own. I needed the guidance of my professors. I needed the help and encouragement from my peers. I needed the lab facilities.
