Is a degree necessary? Debate on that here.

[ABV]

I have a 2 year AS degree in drafting and design. After my 1st semester in school, I started working part time as a drafter. I believe that going to school, and working in the same field is the best way to go. They complement each other so well. You can apply the experience on the job to your school work, and vice versa. I also believe that motivation is a big part of it too.

I believe in going to school, and getting an education, because that's what I know, that's my experience. I wont say that you absolutely need to go to school to get a good job, but I truley believe that I would be flipping burgers had I not gone to school. I had trouble in High School, I had a low GPA, and over all was just kind of a bum. Just by chance I got a call from the tech school that I eventually went to, asking if I would like to take a tour. I decided what the hell, might as well check it out. Well long story short, I went there, and it somehow turned me around. I graduated with a 3.98 gpa, honors, and I had my foot in the door as an intern. The whole experience of going there, made me realize that I am worth something, and I can contribute to society. For me it was that turn around that gave me motivation. Without that I would probably still be living at home, flipping burgers.
