What Education do you have?

[dubious]

After killing it in my exams to get into uni, I lasted 2 weeks there. It was far too slow-paced for me, and I already had tonnes of self-taught knowledge.

A few years later I got a job by lying on my resume saying I had a degree. Within a month I was in charge of a room full of guys who actually had degrees and knew shit all - it became very apparent to me that university has nothing on what you can teach yoursel ok the Internet.

One of the most intelligent and most talented guys I know quit my University course after the first year. He is self employed creating website, managing clients and a self-made man; earning a very comfortable living and master of the way he chooses life. University gets too much credit because you generally have to be a smart and driven person to get there, so of course successful people have Degrees. But if the same subset of smart, talented and driven individuals spent 4 years learning independently they would achieve equal if not great success than their degree is worth.

It's all about the person, not the paper.

Geographer uni degree & Tourism Manager post-secondary degree

 

[brainstorm1]

Bachelors in history.

History is extremely useful every single day. Engineers have tunnel vision, while historians can interpret, analyze, comprehend and convey coherent thoughts and messages.

The historical dates will most likely not help too much (except to sound far more educated at dinner parties - which is important), but most history majors will attest to the high number of papers and synthesis work that is required at the university level. This changes perception and allows historians to see the world in a different and more complex way.

Bachelors in Marketing & Certificate in Entrepreneurship.

Started work in the real world as a Marketing Manager and found that obviously the internet is where the world is heading and where the real profits are made, so I taught myself everything from scratch. It's amazing what can be learned on the web. Especially on BHW.

MIS and any related major is really where it's at in my opinion. Wish I would have known that when I was going to school.

Hey, what's MIS?

Agreed, it is the skills learnt- not the 'historical knowledge' so much.

University...Should have majored in computer science though...kinda a waste of time to graduate then teach yourself programming for the next couple of years

[meathead1234]

I have a BSc in Business Administration but after 4 years of "studying" I think it was all a little pointless. Learned way more in the last 2 years self-employed.

Going to apply for scholarships in composition to a school for the connections and the paper.

I still school people with logic and reason on a daily basis.
