"This type of jobs ...I can't help myself.<br /><br />"This type of jobs need skills not degrees. But for knowledge purpose a diploma is a good key"<br /><br />That statement is garbage.<br /><br />"These types of jobs need skills and do not require degrees, but a college diploma can provide a solid foundation for skills learned in college and in the workforce."Evan G.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9110429088264564186.post-89339076593842095352011-12-14T13:53:51.790-05:002011-12-14T13:53:51.790-05:00Every job needs skills and not degrees.

The other benefit is from connections you make that are crucial to future success.<br /><br />I did my time in college, got no degree (financial aid ran out)and racked up $30k in debt that I've paid $24K of it back. I also have a GED.<br /><br />I should be Director of Technology at a very large school in a few days where I worked my way up from an entry level position after 5 years because of my skills that I improved on in the workplace, not a foolish piece of paper.Evan G.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9110429088264564186.post-21620355726407886692011-12-14T10:48:00.607-05:002011-12-14T10:48:00.607-05:00Skilled work pays well and is very satisfying. I ...Skilled work pays well and is very satisfying. I know a lot of men who enjoy working on cars or aircraft or construction and who are very good at it. These same men are bored stiff with the subjects in a liberal arts college program. <br /> These skills are best learned thru on-the-job training. OJT was the USAF acronym. Companies that need skilled workers need to train them up in house.Dstarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712583039034496867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9110429088264564186.post-90816632693016040582011-12-13T23:58:22.722-05:002011-12-13T23:58:22.722-05:00This type of jobs need skills not degrees.
