I need to get this out of my system.
The System sucks. I think that I could potentially do anything. As in any job. Train me and I can do it. But I can't in the eyes of "The system". I need a degree to be considered competent or qualified. But that's crap too. Qualified? Ask any college graduate if they feel qualified after they graduate. Or if they retained any of what they just learned. Most will say no. Pdog and Jackie both laughed when I told them I was worried because I could not remember the CCNA stuff I had just learned. Apparently thats completely normal. So if no one retains what they learn and everyone learns on the job then why do I need a piece of paper so that I too can learn on the job. Proof that I, like so many others, am in debt because of school. So in order for me to get a good job I have to go into debt to "earn" that job.
Just silly thoughts that were eating me up the other night.

You know I would hire you in a second if I had the money to pay you. Thing is, you CAN do anything. And when you do something, you do it RIGHT and WELL. That's something a degree can never give you. There will come a time when Americans, like Philipinos will all have degrees. And they won't mean shit if all the work you can get is as a janitor. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But imagine being a janitor with a BA.
It's a piece of paper. Don't let your lack of one stop you. You are FAR too smart and far to valuable for that.
warm fuzzies :)
