I don't believe in the B.S. that it makes you a more rounded person. I for one can't remember crap half of the time from a class that i took last semester. But I guess that somewhere deep inside, down the road, I will be able to use that info i learned in Literature to help me solve a problem that might arise.

Anyhow, I guess that going thru life experiences yourself and learning how to fly, also being in the military means nothing to potential employers who will frown on you for not getting that Golden degree. Whatever, at least i have had the opportunity to look at hot women while I attended classes on campus. Sad thing is, it would have been cheaper to go to a strip club or hire an escort.

So, I would just get an online degree that way you can work on it during your down time and continue to work.
