Inspiring story......but as stated before, the online degree is exceedingly easy to attain. Most of those guys, myself included, should have finished it when they were supposed to. I also know PLENTY of lazy people who have their degree, and contribute almost nothing to the world around them. I graduated within a few hundredths of a perfect GPA. Business degree. I cherish the darn thing because I KNOW it helped get my foot in the door. Aside from that, I’m the same person I was before I finished, and the degree means nearly nothing to me outside of helping to get this job. I’m not “proud” of doing so well....because it wasn’t that hard to do it. If anything, I’m still a little ashamed that it took me this long. But the accomplishment did NOT change my worth as an employee. I’m the same dude as I would have been before I got the degree. An individual’s credentials don’t impress me, their character and critical thinking skills do.

Having said all that.....finish the degree. I invested thousands of dollars and many days of my time, and in exchange I got the chance to land the best job in the world....as far as I’m concerned.

Pretty worthwhile investment.

Just to draw a comparison, Blackhawk.....some would say that a person who languished at the regionals for about 20 years wasn’t trying hard enough...didn’t show the proper determination, etc.
I know for a fact you would strongly disagree with that statement, claiming circumstance prevented it, that there was a bigger picture to consider......

See where I’m going with that one?
