my degree(s) are now 27 years, oops, 28 years old, and I worked "in the chosen" field for the whole time. Worth it? Oh, hell yea. I had one prof tell me that "thruout your years here, you will get far too many opinions, far too few true facts, and far too much cold beer and bad pot. Screw all that, I'm going to teach you how to make money". God, I love that man. Other courses, a waste of time and money. trouble is you usually don't know which ones are which until you've been in the "real world"
I'd do it all over again in a new york minute.
