Re: WOT: Need some advice Me, going back to school?
A college degree does not make you any smarter, but it does open doors that are otherwise closed, sometimes even in the job you are in. That's the key to it all. Investigate around with some of the younger folks and find out what their making coming out of college. Then compare it to your pay + exp...

I'd go do it. In fact I'm pondering the same things myself. I'm 35, got an AS degree but fill the role of a BS degree w/o the pay. It's constantly brought up to me that I only have a AS degree, one reason I can't stand my job. But in order to shut them up, I'm contemplating going back & getting ...
