A university degree, i thought it'd be the ticket to success but it wasn't, well not long term because they're a dime a dozen, everyone has one so it's expected just to get any kind of job.

@SW-User So did I. Wish I wouldn't have spent so many years trying to get a degree. Could have been learning how to start a business or flip a house for profit. BUT, the second best time to plant a tree is today.

@iamnikki I found the best thing the degree got me has been when i've applied for jobs and they're looking at eliminating applicants, so they usually pick the ones with the lower qualifications. Although these days it's the opposite and they use it against me and tell me, sorry you're over-qualified.
