You heard it here first.

Mickey sold his harmonica to buy Minnie a chain for her watch. But Minnie sold her watch for a case for Mickey's harmonica.

So touching

as an aside, i disagree with tim to a certain extent that university is a scam. i definitely want my doctor/engineer to have gone to university lol

2018-11-15 10:04:47 UTC  

I don't care.

2018-11-15 10:05:01 UTC  

I've hired people without college degree for six figure positions.

2018-11-15 10:05:47 UTC  

would you want a doctor slicing into you without or an engineer designing a bridge without knowledge of basic statics?

2018-11-15 10:06:07 UTC  

Why are you equating knowledge with having gone to college?

2018-11-15 10:07:16 UTC  

that's where you learn those things. true, you can read up and study these things on your own but how will you know that you understand these things properly without putting them into practice?

2018-11-15 10:07:33 UTC  

Because they have put them into practice.

2018-11-15 10:07:44 UTC  

If they have zero other experience, you have another problem.

2018-11-15 10:07:45 UTC  

also, six figures and bachelors degree are unrelated. people going to trade school will make more money than people with a gender studies degree

2018-11-15 10:08:04 UTC  

Nobody I have ever given a hire after an interview has turned out as a complete flake.

2018-11-15 10:08:20 UTC  

it depends on the industry, i would say

2018-11-15 10:08:34 UTC  

you definitely have a hire risk in medicine or construction

2018-11-15 10:08:36 UTC  

All did average or better at some of world's largest software companies, on systems that several millions of dollars depended on.

2018-11-15 10:08:40 UTC  

higher* risk

If they have a track record of having done what I hire them to do before, that is good enough for me.

After a few years, nobody cares about your degree anyway, unless it's some licensing issue.

2018-11-15 10:09:54 UTC  

of course but how will they get that track record if they just learn the stuff out of high school

2018-11-15 10:10:10 UTC  

after a certain amount of years, i agree that experience trumps the degree

2018-11-15 10:10:14 UTC  

Like everybody else: by starting small.

2018-11-15 10:10:16 UTC  

but the degree helps you get in the door

2018-11-15 10:10:49 UTC  

I'm actually much more hesitant about the reverse: to put some noob on an important project straight out of college. I take someone with experience over degree any time.

2018-11-15 10:10:57 UTC  

the degree is a fashion of transferring the training cost from corporations to the potential employee

2018-11-15 10:11:09 UTC  

Well you're both right here

2018-11-15 10:11:19 UTC  

yes, i agree with you UM

2018-11-15 10:11:38 UTC  

Having a degree is one way to get experience, but it has become progressively worse.

2018-11-15 10:11:42 UTC  

A person who has gone to college cam actually prove his worth, and has experience other experienced people

2018-11-15 10:11:47 UTC  

Relying on a degree would actually be a horrible idea today.

2018-11-15 10:11:58 UTC  

@Undead Mockingbird i say it depends on the industry

2018-11-15 10:11:58 UTC  

But a person can get even better on his own

2018-11-15 10:12:13 UTC  

You do not want to hire anyone on their degree. The best people I have ever hired were self-taught.

2018-11-15 10:12:18 UTC  

Personally, degrees mean a lot here still

2018-11-15 10:12:59 UTC  

I am speaking with personal experience from software engineering and friends from electrical engineering and IT are saying the same.
