No, the reason for completing my degree has got to be more than just my ego. Sadly enough, If working in a technical field has shown me anything, it is that there are a great deal of uneducated geniuses and an even larger amount of educated idiots. I'm doing a great job at work. Plus, I have even been recognized for my achievements. Well, the cold hard truth of it all is that employers can't really investigate your performance.
Employers simply review resumes.
Employers typically don't take time to research your individual course completions. Therefore my extensive college credits don't amount to much. A degree gives perspective employers the freedom to choose me. Giving me a little better edge in the working community. Justify the financial investment is just one step.
