myLotters what do you say is it necessary to have some 'Educational Degree' in the life? I don't think so, I think that we must have knowledge, and experience. that's it. There are many people there who has 'Degrees' but there's lack of knowledge. They are just worms of books, they only have knowledge which they got from the college or school. Albert Einstein said "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school". So my dear myLotters, what do you say what is necessary in life the knowledge or 'Degree'? And if you want to share, don't forget to tell me your "Degree". Happy myLotting !!

I am doing in degree in law and well I had always been wishing this but when I see friends who are already working for much more salary with no degrees, it gives me deception because I feel to be wasting my time after a degree while I could have saved the money and work too. However if I was working then I would not have been learning and studying. I think after having the degree I will be able to post for much better job.

I think that degree can't develop your mind and thinking, I see there are many people who have big degree but lack of thinking.

An ducationdegree is a third party certification of your knowledge and is necessary if you are seeking a job. but if you are well off and don't need a job or want to do business and having no problem raising money, then it is not a must.

Hmmm you're right, degree is necessary to get job, but if you want to give someone a job, then it is not necessary, then knowledge only matters.
