Completing a degree means you can commit and deliver, IMO.
So does a lot of other valuable and still relevant lived experiences, and they come without the price tag.
But we all already know that.
- sarusso 5y agoSure, if you include the price in the equation then this makes things different, you are right. I got biased by the nearly free University we get in Europe. However, if you start something, I think that it is a good attitude to finish it, provided that you don't face major practical/financial issues along the way.
- dvtrn 5y agoHowever, if you start something, I think that it is a good attitude to finish it I 100% agree with this. I've just got a bit (maybe a lot) of chagrin towards the sometimes strident mentality that college is the only meaningful way an individual can prove they possess such a capable characteristic, or that completing college is an indicator that such a person will retain such a characteristic throughout their careers/lives. It's useful as a snapshot of an individual's educational accomplishments for sure, and more power to them for that accomplishment, but I will always have a bit of reticence about the application of "has degree" past that.
