Hey, I just had good talk with friend of mine the other day. He shared me the story which proves that BS degree isn't always the answer.
He said that his dad is now retired from GM, mind you GM is huge corporation yes, General Motors, or you can call it Government Motors... Anyway, his dad used to be an engineer at GM. Guess what he got to get in GM as an engineer? Nope, it is not BS degree as he don't have one! He got in because he got experience working starting at rock bottom, climbing right into engineer dept and got job there with fat salary (over $100K a year) and no BS degree!
He said that BS degree might jumpstart faster but does not guarantee anything.
Also, one of my longtime friend was shocked that I had a good job without any college degree, he told me that the guy I used to be with 25 years ago had complete BS degree 25 years ago and still no job. We suspect that because he refused to start bottom and wants to go straight to the top of the ladder. It didn't work for him, and as of right now STILL unemployed. (Yup, he is Deaf too)
To get nice pay, need to earn it and work for it. That is all it takes.
