If you get in with Sikorsky and United Technologies, please don't move to Connecticut. We already have enough idiots.

BURN!

Good luck on your job search. It's not like the thread is full of win, anyway.

CT is the last place on the planet I really want to move to anyway. I think you are safe, but thanks for the concern.

So getting a degree means that you lose ambition and slave away for your employer for the rest of your life? Sounds more synonymous with a blue-collar trade position. Plenty of people with degrees will go on to start their own businesses or corporations or whatever.

Why can't you guys read? I said "you assholes" - as in the people posting in this thread talking about great benefits and job security. How the hell does that equate to everyone with a degree?

I'm an asshole because I maintain that having a degree nets me better job security and better benefits? Find a statistic to prove me wrong and I will gladly suck your balls.

Find a statistic that proves something as subjective as "better"? Yeah that's going to happen. That was never my point anyways.....I'm saying YOU in particular seem to have the idea that you will work for someone else your entire life.

EDIT: Not that it's a bad thing - just not in the bag for me.

How is it that you guys still fail to see what I'm saying?

A degree is not required to be successful. Work ethic and motivation are key. Does anyone disagree?

YES a degree makes it easier to get a good job - as well as it is required to even be considered for some jobs. You guys are acting like I'm an advocate for dropping out - I'm not. I'm working on my degree as we speak. This is not a black and white situation though. There are people with degrees who are utter failures - and people without even a diploma who are an incredible success. That was the only thing that I ever pointed out - yet you still continue to argue that everyone with a degree is going to be massively successful and all the rest will work with their hands their entire life and retire to medicare and medicaid. Holy fuck. It has been incredibly frustrating trying to reason with you guys.

"Success" is the subjective as well. I skimmed through the thread, but I don't remember ever seeing anyone say "a degree is the only way." It just allows someone to move up the ranks faster, have more opportunities open to them to begin with, and they are required in many fields these days. Many of the same points you just stated. I am still not sure how I was on a high horse about anything.

The main reason I replied negatively in the first place was this:

Tech schools FTW, real 4 years schools FTL.

I was just agitated with the fact that the first post was hating on the dude. 4 year schools are not always "FTW"

Cliffnotes:

You couldn't hack it at a university, went to a tech school, found a career field you enjoy and excel in. Congratulations, would you like a cookie?

As for this:


Wow.


If you want to be a mechanic. Otherwise... no.

First of all, who the fuck are you??????
Second. Atleast he knows what he wants to do.
A trade school taught him that. How many people do you know with college degrees who are using them.

Warning.... your post count is too low to be the new Blunt.

True if you have a degree it may help in getting hired off the bat. But that is where it ends. (unless it is a specialty like engineering). Any lazy moronic asshole can graduate from the university of whatever with a "degree". Employers look at a degree as a commitment. Nothing more. This person was able to commit 4 years to a specific thing so inturn they shoud stay with us for at least that amount of time if we pay them just enough and give them the "benefits" they deserve.
If you started in a sales position when you were 18 and worked at that company for five years you would be up for promotion quicker than a 22 year old college graduate who has been working for a year. 5yrs work experience = 4yrs college.
The only thing holding a non college grad back is promotions to director or vp. If you are that good however most companies will make sure you can acheive a degree on their dime to make that level in your career.
A degree is not by any means bullshit. It doesn't make you less lazy though. I have fired more people with degrees than without. That's my experience.

Way to be a dick dude.

You mean voice of reality? Yeah, life can be rough, live with it.


Shit, school = r3v? Your life will be like r3v as a wrench jockey.

You just reworded what i said in the first place. The first post would have been positive if he had no said "4 Year Schools FTL." Everyone I know that has graduated in the past couple years actually got a degree that was worth something. I know someone who is now working as a 3d animator/graphic designer, another that is head of marketing at a large bank, and another working finance for a major law firm. All straight out of college... BECAUSE of their degrees.

[You] found a career field you enjoy and excel in. Congratulations

As for the post count... I don't have a lot of free time to browse/post on the forums, but I have been around here for longer than you have smart guy.
