SickPuppy Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 My degree says your Two cents is only worth 1.33 cents on the market. Of course mine came in the Cracker Jack box. Probably less after you factor in the rate of inflation. I was lucky the VA paid for my education, the BA, BS, and MBA anyway. Next year I hope to start on my DBA but I will have to pay for that. Hard to justify the $60,000 just so I can put a Dr. in front of my name, but what the hell, I am a disabled Vet with nothing else to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SickPuppy Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 Swimming is my new favorite. Been training for my first triathalon and all the pool time has definitely payed off. Also really easy on the joints (unless your doing flys of course ). I loved to run, but now my disabilities won't allow it, hell I am lucky that can still walk. At age 39, and that was some years ago, I did a 12.53 2 mile run for my last official PT test in the Army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying a company with good hardware and customers is just an added bonus. I love the people asking $30,000 for 50 customers and nothing owned.

SickPuppy Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 The value of a company depends on the size of the company's FCF (free cash flow), the timing of those flows, and the risk involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studeggle Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Degrees are good for getting jobs and burning up extra time. I'd take someone with more real job experience over a degree. And funny thing is after I completed a degree the thing I kept hearing from potential employers was contact us after you have some experience under your belt. (P.S. I had a 3.87 GPA and darn near top of my class so it wasn’t just I got a degree sliding by, but I still considered it a piece of cake vs. the real world.) Degrees simply demonstrate discipline and introduce you to ideas. But ideas can be gained anywhere they don't require a degree. Don’t get me wrong, I do see degrees as useful. But not in really teaching you something, instead they are just the little bit extra that sticks your resume at the top of the list with others that have as much experience as you.

Back when I made that post June was the projected completion date. I needed advanced corporate finance and the capstone course. I decided to take both courses at the same time, one online and the other at the local campus. I completed both the first semester of this year, so now I am done. I am taking an advanced accounting class right now and over the next year I will take a few other courses but that is all in preparation for my DBA.

I agree, there are many cases where motivated individuals have succeeded without a degree; however, they are the exception to the rule and make up a small percentage of corporate America. A degree does not guarantee success; it only demonstrates your potential to succeed. Don’t get me wrong, I do see degrees as useful. But not in really teaching you something What you learn from taking any class will depend on what you are willing to put into it. The same is true for anything you do in life.
