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

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

A degree means nothing without experience.

People that flaunt it around are because theyre insecure and need something to feel credible and better about themselves.

I have 2 BS degrees, a masters degree and business minor.

All that means jack shit.

@Venturist you need the degree to open the door to get experience. people who don't even graduate high school don't realize that puts them behind even more

@akindheart that's a societal benefit. But ive met many people who havent gone to college but are much smarter than my colleagues..

So i dont respect anyone based on a piece of paper.. only results and proof of action

@Venturist it takes a little luck to get the right doors to open and yes there are some that have a natural talent for their avocation. but i needed a degree to get into my field. my degree is in history but it opened the right doors.
