This is building on a post from another member. What is your political affiliation, level of education. For those that earned a college degree, what is your major and do you feel like the experience was worth it. For those that didn't graduate college (or even high school), do you regret it?
It took me 10 years and multiple changes to my major but I finally earned my Bachelor of Science in Business. Originally I started as a journalism major and then changed to political science, public relations, and finally to business. Due to some poor decisions as a kid, it took me much longer and cost much more than it should have. But at the end of the day, I think it has been beneficial not only professionally, and financially but personally as well.

I wouldn't say that but I would say that from the ages of 18-22, it wasn't really a priority. It wasn't until I quit school and started working full-time that I realized how important education is. My only regret is that I didn't take it more seriously when I was younger. I'm advancing in my career and making a pretty good living so it's all water under the bridge now.

I hold two college degrees and enough hours beyond the MS to have earned a doctorate. Since both degrees were earned in the 1950s they are both worthless to me today. My BS was in Physical Education and very important to me during my teaching early teaching days as that was the course I taught most often. My minor on that one was History and I used it all my 28 years since I taught history and government the whole time.
Now as for the MS, it was necessary to get an administrator's certificate in order to be a school administrator and I only used it for that purpose 3 years.
I needed those degrees in order to teach so I guess they were pretty important since I couldn't have been certificated without them. I didn't make much money from them but I chose to teach knowing it wasn't a very lucrative area.
There will be many false replies by people who want to counter the stereotypes (which are probably correct).
Yeah, actually I lied in my reply.
Of course, you would think that a conservative with two college degrees and many hours beyond was a liar. I am an old conservative but was a very liberal Dem for nearly 20 years of my voting life and yeah, I was awarded both those degrees from a college that is still in operation. I will never forget how happy I was wearing the short sleeves on that 100 degree day when the bachelor people were wearing those gowns with long sleeves.
