Does a college degree matter anymore?

Answer 1

Answer

In general, the most important issue is the schools accreditation. When choosing a college or university, you should make sure the institution has a regional accreditation. Where you take your bachelors degree may not be as important as where you take your graduate work. However, there are some employers who will notice or be swayed by an individual who graduated from Princeton versus someone who graduated from City College. Other than that, I would not be too concerned about the college, as long as it's accreditation is a regional one. With a regional accreditation you can be assured that your degree and course work will be recognized as bona fide and valid by other colleges, universities and employers.

Your question doesn't have a true definitive answers. However, I can tell you this when you just finish high school you should really think carefully whether you should attend trade/ techinical school or university. Because in the reality of our current economic trends you will be so regret if you don't make a wise decision and the consequences is you can end in up in student loans debt and the worse is you cannot file for bankruptcy in most cases. So be careful and patient when picking specific majors you're interested if you attend college cause some you might pick is probably the worst unemployed major out there or just go striaght to work like laboring and save money and invest (in gold is the best investment). If you're so talented with new and creative ideas skip college try to open your own business. America need more entrepreneurs now than college degree graduautes.
