What’s the point of a degree?
Discover how a degree builds a strong foundation for your life and career, enhancing growth and opportunities beyond immediate employment.
A degree is worth it regardless of leading to direct employment. Helps your life and career in medium and long run. For career, esp short term, prob not. With a couple years experience, you can already get hired somewhere.
To me, a degree forms a broad, deep foundation for living and growing. That’s a big deal. It’s the foundation for *every* job. It *alone* needn’t get you a specific job. That’s what work-study, contract work, and internships are for. All those together, that’s a solid education.
