Question

Do you think graduating from college helped you get a good job?

Answer 1

Yes, specially because all the big companies go to the colleges to pick up employees. The good entry level jobs are all in the career center at your local university.

Answer 2

I think having a college degree is essential now. I have a BA in Mass Comm. and  my husband has 20 years experience in construction. I can get a higher paying job because of the degree. He is temporarily unemployed and Home Depot and Menards won't hire him because they require a BA.  Get a degree if you can!!

Answer 3

Yes but sometimes it needs luck too..

Answer 4

OMG. It's late and my dyslexia has kicked it. I though the question asked if my degree helped me get a "boob" job. lol.

Anyway, no, and no.

I think it helped me get more respect from some of the heads, but I could have gotten these jobs without schooling. Probably would not be as good at them, or paid as well, but I definitely would have gotten them.

Apparently most did not read the question, and here I am worried about MY dyslexia. The question asks if it helped the answerer, not if it WILL help the asker. In my case, it didn't.

Answer 5

yes, depends on what degree.

Answer 6

Yes, it was a pre-requisite for most of the jobs I applied for out of college. A lot of places wouldn't even look at your resume if you didn't have a Bachelor's degree.

Answer 7

yup, it helps you a lot.
