AJ asked:

It appears that a bachelor degree is not enough anymore to guarantee a permanent job with benefits and sustainable wage. There is even more uncertainty with a graduate degree. Are institutions too generous in awarding degrees? Are there too many colleges today? Too many online programs? Receiving a bachelor degree used to be an elite achievement but now is seems like they are too readily available.

Gentleman. asked:

I have already finished my Bachelor’s of Science Degree Major Hospitality/Tourism, but after working a year realized this is not the field that I really want to do the rest of my life. (I really just fell into that major to get a degree). After doing a little research I found computer networking to be something I really interested in and could see myself doing.
The problem is I don’t know where to begin. I understand that along with courses, I need certifications (A+, CCNA, etc) and experience. I don’t know whether to just start completely over in the field to get adequate knowledge (get an associates) or would it even be possible to major at a university and get a second bachelors degree in computer science? My basic question is what would be the best route to pursue a career in this field considering my educational background? What would be the approximate time that I would be able to finish all certifications and be able to start a career?

blue_id_baby05 asked:

I want to finish my bachelor’s degree. I’ve been considering obtaining it online however; I am concerned with the validity of an online degree in the business world. My reasoning for wanting an online institution is that I work approx 45 - 50hr per week (varying hours) which makes it difficult for me to attend “campus” classes. Anyone have any advice in regards to how online degrees are revered in the business world?
