Saving grace.
It may not be what you learn in college but the fact that you know how to learn that is so important. The goal of a good university should be to teach its students how to teach themselves.
Completing an educational program shows you have the ability and motivation to finish what you start. Education is the single best investment you can make. It is an investment in yourself.
There are many government census reports that show a direct relationship between education and future income. Income does not necessarily have a direct correlation to happiness but income is an indication of freedom, flexibility, security and (most importantly) opportunity.

Education does not guarantee your success, but gives you tools necessary for being successful. I strongly believe that formal education played critical role in my personal and professional life. I definitely want my children to go to college. I hope I helped you to make up your mind.

I would say it is a 60%--40%. The former for education and the latter for factoring in talent and motivation.

If it weren't for my college degree, I wouldn't have been hired on at my last job. Yes, you make more with a degree in most cases. There are some rare exceptions, but those are the folks who have a very strong desire to succeed.

Yes. Unfortunatly a degree gets you in the door. And if you get there, your masters moves you up. Every study out their shows higher earnings are directly related to edecation levels obtained.

My formal schooling has absolutely nothing to do with what I do now. Don't get me wrong tho -- I'm glad I went to college.
