does our diploma/bachelor degree help us in our career?

i think my bachelor degree is only help my career on entry level. but then for the next carrier i have to had special skills which i could get from short courses on specific skill.

i am undergrad college stud but i have good paying job better than my other sisters who are all graduate...for me it helps but what really helps is your ability not papers it will just support you in yur entry but it wont tell much in the long run... just a thought....

it helped me, because the company i am working for does not accept undergraduates. so i will not have the kind of work i have right now if i did not have any diploma to begin with.

I still think yes they do help us in our career. No matter what course you took the important thing is that you were able to finish it. That is what the employer is really looking after, consistency and being able to sustain it. I have friends that have jobs that does not match their course in college bu they were taken only because they have a diploma. They have finished a four year course, compared to an undergraduate. you will have a better chance of getting better job.

yes, i do think it can help us in our career, especially when you are a new hand. now most of the recruit positions need the applier with diploma or bachelor degree. and i do think that in the college we learned qutie a lot. but if you did not very well, you have no ability to get the diploma/bachelor degree, right?

Frankly speaking diploma/degrees are of less importance to our career. Any graduate when comes out of college and enters into the practical life finds a large difference between what he has studied and what he has to do. Diploma/degrees are only a guidelines to start the practical life but actual experience is gained only through practical life. A layman through his practical experience can guide a fresh diploma/degree holder but a fresh diploma/degree holder can not guide an experienced person.
