Higher studies do not necessarily make you a 'successful' person however, it will probably afford you a better opportunity to be more competitive in the marketplace for employment. As I think back to my early beginnings, I had a degree in Sociology and Education and it got me no where in the competitive job market. They didn't know what to do with me. At this time, I was pursuing a singing career and did not want a job that was going to 'tie me down', so I accepted telephone operator, receptionist-type jobs. To some people that might be below their standards, but they hired me knowing that I was skilled and able to speak well on the phones, handle the clients and I became well liked throughout the company. I was eventually moved upward into the company as a Technical Writer for an Insurance Company. I would say a person's success really depends upon their own merit, their eagerness and boldness in a position. People who have "go-get'em" attitudes, positive thinking, always looking for better ways to do something, people who think outside the box - those are the people who are successful. You bring about your own success depending upon what you are doing. Having a degree or taking advance courses is a small step in the real world of sucess-makers. You have to have 'moxy'.

A college degree is required for many entry level jobs. A lot of the time it doesn't matter what the degree is, just so long as you have one. It shows (in theory) that you have the ability to learn and can be trained.
