I have a question about getting a college degree ?

Friday, February 27th, 2009
Black Jack asked:


I am planning to go back to school after being in the workforce a long time and being very frusterated with my career path. What is the best type of degree to get ? Is a college degree really worth its wait in gold or is it all hype ? What is the best major ? Can someone shed some light on this. Escpecially you young college kids who are doing it.

How to negotiate a higher salary without having a college degree?

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009
woodybmi asked:


I have been with the same company for 13 years. I started out in production and have worked my way up to Application Engineer in our R&D Center. My problem is that my salary is about 20K less than the new “degreed” Engineers that we are now hiring. I have been given the task of training these new hires. During my last performance review I scored excellent, but only received a 3% pay raise. Why am I not compensated at the same level as the new hires? Even without a degree I feel that my work experience is more than adequate to qualify me for the appropriate pay grade. If anyone has any suggestions as to how I can better negotiate with my employer please advise. Also, it would be very difficult for me to attend college now as I work full time and have every little “free” time.

I’m considering becoming a journalist because I love writing but I’m unsure of what type of college degree is necessary, how many years in college, the salary, and what type of work a journalist does. Any other additional information would be appreciated! Thank you.
