is a college degree essential to get a decent work?

well,,my husband hasnt finished school and he owns his own buisness in construction and makes an exceptional amount of income..and since hes got the buisness i run the finances so i have taken some courses on income tax and gst accounting stuff and now i make extra income on doing others accounting and i can do it all from home:)

yup, a college degree is essential to get a decent work because a lot of company preferred a college graduate as one of their requirements.

im 35 with three kids and i feel like i was 16 last year.when i was 16 i had a chip on my shoulder,thought i was all grown up and knew it all.i wanted to leave school as soon as i could to get a job so i could have some money.i had no qualifications so every job i got was basic money.i deeply,deeply regret all those decisions and if i could put it right i would.when my kids get to school i will hopefully go to college.i want my kids to be the opposite to me and do the best they can.i want them to go to university and get good jobs so they can have the life they diserve,the best.dont try and take short cuts,it dosent work.study,i know its hard but time goes by so fast and its worth it in the end.

Necessarily not. Knowledge and experince counts.
