Knowing what you know now..

I never finished college as I started to work after my On-the-Job training... After weeks of OJT, they hired me as an assistant. After years of being in a huge broadcasting company, I decided to call it quits and look for another job. Most requirements were College degree holder, so I said crap all of that... I Became a freelancer instead, I was my own boss (after my wife though)... Now that some people heard of my work and what company I used to work for and not having any employment problems already, I guess I don't need to go back to school already...

This is a very interesting question. I would say i wished i payed more attention in the classes during my highschool years than what i actually did. Now im finishing up my thesis for my degree in Marketing Management, and if i want to do further studies i dont know, depends on what the future offers me.

I'm still studying right now, probably I'll finish my college year by march 2010 but all i can say is that you will learn more a lot by experience than just by mere concepts in school... although i'm not saying that let's go out of the school and start facing the world... schooling prepares to what is in the real world..therefore i still prefer to do the things i have to do in the university until i'm finally matured enough in facing the outside world..

This is an interesting topic of discussion. Thanks for starting it.:)

My education is alright. I went to a 4 year college and then on to get a Master's Degree.



I think that everyone is different.
Some people who don't stay on at school beyond high school can get well-paying jobs and may be happy.

Other people go to schools and learn a trade and/or receive certification to get a job they like.


I suppose I feel that everyone is different. For some people it is important to get a good formal education. For others it is unimportant.


Have a good day!:)

I would have gone to college instead of taking my first job. There are other paths I would have taken and I would have done things different. But, we don't know these things.

i wouldn't,i couldn't cope very well with school or exams,i knew the exam answers but when it came to putting it on paper,my mind went blank,i think i've learnt a lot more useful info since i left school

Hi there,

I enjoy my financial freedom right now. Had I went back to school, with these same knowledge gained, I would have not enjoyed the same amount of luxuries as I am expereincing right now.

Nevertheless, there are still a lot of "what if" questions that needed to be answered. But intead of enrolling back to college courses full-time, I would like to learn more about other intricasies during my rest days, or by schedule as long as it won't interfere in my regular work load. These interests include psychology, sociology, in depth-earth science, oceanography, history, literature,film... I can go on forever here... haha!

Indeed, there are a lot of things this world is offering for us to learm and to explore.

Happy DAy!
