Do you think a college degree is a must? Do you think college degree helps us get a better job? Do you have a part-time job during your school days?

For me the answer is yes. College can make you have different mind, you can have more friends with another sociality and different think. i do have part time job during my school day, give me extra money for shopping

I think a college degree or education can difinitely help you get a better job, but you are not always guaranteed a job after going through college. some places of business will not hire someone will a college education because they say they are over-qualified for the job position that is available. I don't think a college degree is a must have. I do believe a high school education is required for most jobs though. I didn't have a part-time job during school but it would have been nice if I did.

Yes it is a must, a complete education or graduate of a college degree is your asset and wealth at the same time. Nobody can take it away from you, and wherever you may go you can get a decent job with very good salary and benefits. Unlike if you didn't finish your studies, you will have no professional growth. Worse is your salary might stay the same range. I was lucky to not have a part time job during my school days. My Dad and Brother supported my studies, but hey they were the ones who chose my college course.

Yes, it's a very important key to success. Because it provides you with a sense of accomplishment. Nowadays, it's hard to find a job without a degree. Employers look for studious people willing to educate themselves through college and hardwork combined. They will not hire a person without a four year degree. It doesn't matter what the degree is in, but they want to see that you can commit to something long enough to finish. =)

hmm, personally, there are a lot of people out there these days who have jobs that I could easily do better, and Im only 16. But yes, i think a degree is a must. You wouldnt want someone making your financial decisions or performing surgery on you without knowing exactly what they're doing right? But having a degree doesnt necessarily mean you will get the job or you deserve to get the job.

yes,I agree with you.although it is hard to find a good job after graduation,but I think it is necessary to get a college degree,on the one hand,it makes us have a good command of some special knowledge;on the other hand,it is a symbol of our capacity to some extent.but have a part-time job is good for finding a better job.
