Tbh, if you think you need it for work that's not true, you can just put B.A. in Whatever on your resume as most employers don't really check b/c it costs $$ to do so. ymmv.
This is true. 90% of employers do not verify credentials. They only run criminal, drug and sometimes credit checks - that's it.
The only professions that require college degrees, and take the timer o verify them are top tier consulting firms (who recruit college kids to begin with), like PWC, or Andersen Consulting.
Unless you are a doctor or lawyer, credentials will seldom be checked.
If I can go back in time, I'd take the 300,000USD I spent on a college degree and throw it in a savings account offshore, and have it there for 40 years gaining 5% interest.
I don't feel smarter fro going to college, 20 years later, I feel like I was an idiot following social norms, which you all know I am strongly against as a 37 year old man.

300K for a college degree?!? Where was this?
