I’ve also seen hundreds of dumb@sides with degrees, and quite a few brilliant people without. Having said that, I went online and finished my degree for the SOLE purpose of getting hired by a Legacy carrier. It would have been willful negligence not to. I’m not the slightest bit smarter for getting the degree.....but my financial security has grown considerably. #getthedegree
