I think what some people is forgetting here is the second
part of his
question which states on how to have something to fall back
on.
As I don't necessarily agree that degrees are the key to the
kingdom, the
corporate world seems to believe that. So having a degree
will certainly
provide that. Many of the most successful people in in
corporate or
government hold degrees that are completely unrelated to the
career they've
obtained. Bottom line is that it a degree has helped them
somehow. I don't
agree but that's just how it is when it comes to making the
green cabbage.
