It seems like you have to return back to school to get a better job and a better salary. You see commercials for University of Phoenix or Devry offering you a better career in just 2 years. But is that the only way? I hear those schools are really terrible and you're basically paying them to give you a degree and not to learn.
What do you think? Have you been back to school to get a new, better career? Who was able to without going back to school?

see if you are intelligent and intellectual then you need nothing else to have a good career unless you are really unlucky. If broadly classified successful people can be classified into two categories..... people with big degrees and people with extraordinary talent..... Normally people are born with above average intelligence and extraordinary talent.... so one can do nothing if he doesn't have one. It is nothing to be ashamed of..... so if one doesn't have it...... then he should go to a school and get a degree...... people at the age 50 do MBA..... and triple their earning capacity.... i wonder what the school teaches a 50 year old man in a year so as to make him earn that much...... anyways.... what you need to do is focus just on your career and forget the rest....... look into yourself.... classify yourself... and do the needful..

Not only do they want degrees but also experience. What if one has the experience and no degree? I think the one with experience has more applicable knowledge that would make a better contribution. Degrees just mean text book knowledge, most ideologies that we wish were actual but aren't.

Hi! I don't think we must go back to school to have a better career, because actually the university gives us the papers, which help us to find a better job, and if you have learned hard at high-school and you have got good or excellent notes, then you can go in any university you want!

I think the degree is important mostly for the legal aspects of the job. The main things that are taken into consideration by the interviewers are your working experience and the reccomendations from your working collegues and managers.
