Yeah, pieces of pap...I'd forgotten that re Z1!<br /><br />Yeah, pieces of paper with academic credentials on are only worth something because bosses insist on having them from employees.<br /><br />If you can write, why do you need a degree in literature or something?<br /><br />If you're brilliant at fixing car engines, why do you need some college certificate saying so?<br /><br />Too many companies place far more faith in that bit of paper than in the actual ability of a person to do something meaningful and successful.<br /><br />My view has always been, jump in at the deep end, and then you're forced to learn things, and quickly too.<br /><br />There's nothing as worthwhile as exposure to the real world and learning from it.

I have thought many times about returning to school to get a Masters degree, yet I hate how our society forces you to judge the value of education based on the amount of money it might award you; the logical thing would be to study an MBA but I just don't have a head for financial numbers --besides, nowadays it seems that the more diplomas you have the less opportunities you'll find in the job market!<br /><br />Man, where's Tyler Durden when you need' im? :PRed Pill Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14738203580562140501noreply@blogger.com
