It's more important to be hard working and just be good at what you do rather then wave a piece of paper around.. after all most degrees are just that..a useless piece of paper. (although some degrees will get you in the door quicker)

ill look into a degree maybe, ill see how promotions look without one for a while, and decide then, i just want somewhere to join low down that offers training on the job and so degrees arent so important.. and regards to my rubbish english today, iv been working all day from early this morning doing labouring work, and didnt sleep last night so im nackered, and also our bonus was some beers so.. im tired and tipsy. 🙁
Alternatively, watch London to Brighton and weigh up whether you are man enough for a job in the fitness industry.

i know of a guy who was paid by the bank of scotland to do a degree and then was promoted to a bank manager upon his completion of said degree. (i believe the promotion was part of the deal though). he had been working for the bank for most of his life though.
sorry, to be a nazi, but i'm knackered after work today, and being a nazi makes me feel better 🙂...
In the Us ,plumbers, electricians, heating and a/c tradesmen all make good money, Most of the time these jobs are recession proof (if you have a liscence) because they provide services that people need.
I personally work at an all women's college and am liscenced for heat and a/c. I make more than most of the associate professors, and more than alot of people I know with degrees.
And remeber without plumbers...you'de have no place to go😉
Originally posted by Restless SoulNah, a degree is much better than being hard working.

Get a degree, enjoy your time at college / university, try to grow up some more, develop, and just after you've done that go and waist your valuable time with working during summers, getting up early, going to bed early and lose every flexibility in your time you might still have as a pre-worker.
I repeat; get a degree.
