What do you think my business just dropped from the sky?....Whether you have a degree or not, working your butt off and not settling for less is what gets you somewhere.....if you think just you're degree is the ticket, you're only a quarter of the way there.

Thats not what I am saying. Obviously hard work is the key to success. What I mean is that you can't stroll into the HR department of a large company and say "hey I read some business books and taught myself some computer programs, can I have a job" They wouldn't look at you. To a company, a degree gives a sense of security in that the person you hire has proof of his/her skills. On the other hand, it is not saying that the person is competent.

I know I couldn't just walk up to boeings door step and tell them that I know all about turbine engines. They would laugh me out the door and onto the runway.

With that said, I know lots of people who didn't go to university/college and they are all doing fine for themselves. Some of them began their own busniesses and some started on the bottom rung of the corporate ladder and had the company train them. The common factor in all these courses of action is hard work.

Some of the most successful and wealthiest men never even finished High School, look at Dave Thomas founder of Wendy's. That is no excuse not to get a degree but it goes to show you hard work and determination can take you a long way.

Thats one thing to think that, it's another to do it. before I die I will start a sporting goods companies, bikes, skiis etc, something similar to K2. I have wanted to do that since highschool. The problem was the all mighty dollar. I didn't have any. It's hard to start a company without it. For people without it, school offers a way to get it. Once I get enough capital I can kiss aerospace good bye and take that knowlege and apply it too my new company.

and too those who are saying that some of the wealthiest people in the world didn't go for higher education. True, but how many of them were privelaged children? I don't know for a fact, but I would bet a large portion of them are. Money affords many freedoms to the aspriring entrepeneur.

you're falling into the trap...It doesn't take much money to start a company. It takes nerve....and I agree that you should take the knowledge you are gaining now and apply it to a future business....but maybe in a different way or avenue that people haven't thought about.

I did that with my second business...I took what I did in my day job and turned it into something I do 4 hours a night maybe 6 to 8 nights a month...that translated in +35k for the year doing it in the time I normally would have just been watching tv.....for a start up of 2k.....I imagine it might really take off once I do it full time.

the other company is a different senario.


start small and find a way....the hardest part is the first step.

I have plenty. When you go to school... Don't just pay attention. Learn.

The one thing I hate the most when interviewing potential SW Engineering candidates is a cocky straight out of school CS major who think's he/she knows everything and is entitled to a job. When they show me they know something other than the latest technical jargon, I give them the job. So... Learn and know your place when entering the job market. The degree will tell a potential employer one thing: You went to school.

Hope that helps. I'm not trying to be a downer, just trying to help you avoid a common pitfall I've seen over and over.

Good luck.

Don't go technical, go for the business side of I.T.; much more money down the road... And go for an MBA, then get a job with one of the big firms for about the first 3 years... This is the foundation you will use to then climb your way to CIO of a big company and make alllot of money...

I concur. As an engineer, I dread going into the tech side of things. Hopefully, I can go into engineering sales; I plan on taking business classes when I graduate. :)

DO = Doctor of Osteopathy

What the hell is that you say? DO's are physicians who practice (all specialties) in all 50 states. We take the same classes and take the same tests as MD's, just have 2 differences. We are taught a more holistic approach to medicine and also get training in manipulation.

Edit:

Forgot: BA in Biology and History from Augustana College.

BSc in Computer Science

To a company, a degree gives a sense of security in that the person you hire has proof of his/her skills. On the other hand, it is not saying that the person is competent.

I know I couldn't just walk up to boeings door step and tell them that I know all about turbine engines. They would laugh me out the door and onto the runway.

Unfortunately, you are right in that most people responsible for hiring have no faith in their own ability to determine competence and use the degree in lieu of this. On the other hand, it is not impossible to do as you described though maybe not as straightforwardly. And if you succeed in finding someone who is able to determine talent, knowledge and competence without relying on a piece of paper then you will have found someone worth working for. Never forget that the job interview works both ways.

Noooo... My point (not poot:p) was to say that you did not have to go or even finish college to be a successful person. It takes more than a diploma to run a business. Most of the people I went school with, never went to work in their major. I didn't. I haven't finished my degree in CS and I do quite well in the IT field. I managed two multi-million dollar companies before I got my AS in business management (at the ripe old age of 21). Everything I learned, I learned on my own or through work experience. College taught me very little. The pieces of paper I have (the last one I'll get next spring) serve no purpose other than to show that I spent way too much money, and that I can finish something I start.

Anyone can be a miserable failure. You have to work hard to be a success. ;)
