I have a bunch of them. I'm probably the most over credentialed person any of you ever talk to.
We've discussed it in another thread, but basically I was a lot better at school than I was at figuring out what I should be doing.

Definitely. I'm just an extreme example. At least it ultimately resulted in a profession. I know some people can't even say that.

I'm just glad that when the road forked between a PhD in classical studies and computer science, I took the path more traveled by :)

It won't be the road more travelled by for much longer I'd guess. Nearly every parent of college age children that I talk to is pushing them to go into computer science.

Won't that make it even more more traveled by?

Got a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, graduated with honors. Then proceeded to have a career as a finishing carpenter. I sometimes wish I had started carpentry right out of highschool instead of going to university.

Yes. I didn't learn anything of real value. The social/meeting people/having a good time value was low as well, because I was pretty introverted back then.
Did it help me? Definitely not in terms of skills. Maybe a tiny bit in terms of prestige value, because it was an above average college. But in my "starter job", that got me going in my career path, there were people who had no college degree. So probably not.

Yes. But is of no use being an unlicensed software developer earning sats. :)

No. I worked right our of high school and never regretted it because I worked in skilled labor so I can now charge people $50-100 an hour for basic tasks like furniture assembly, mounting TVs, and hanging light fixtures, etc.

Like everything else in the world, it can be life-changing and amazing, or worthless. Depends on what you bring to it.

I graduated from the school of hard knocks. I also have a degree in financial accounting which doesn't count because I have never had a job in finance or accounting in my entire life. Basic accounting was very helpful running my business though and helped me save money on bookkeeping and accountant costs when we were building the business because I just did it all myself and got our accountant to sign off for taxes. You don't need to go to school to learn basic accounting though.

For anything medical related a degree is mandatory if you want to get licensed and credentialed.
