Does Your Degree Matter?

Do you have to have a degree to succeed? No. It helps a lot however. You don't need a degree to get started. However, if you want to become a successful entrepreneur and grow your business and career, there is a lot you can gain by having a degree.

Having a degree like one offered by AJU's Tracy College can make a difference if you plan to advance your career or start a successful business. Many people have the expectation that a prestigious degree will result in a top salary career. The key is using your degree properly to enhance and expand your career. A degree concentrating in business, entrepreneurship or other majors can really help advance your status, whether your business is as a self-employed writer or other professional.

You do however, need to find a University offering practical education. One that provides you with life-skills training (like those offered at AJU). There are far too many people out there with college degree’s working at Pizza Hut or the local convenience store (no offense, it’s hard to get a job anywhere).

There are many successful people, including Bill Gates that make millions of dollars each year, yet never finished college. Why? They had talent. They had ambition. They were smart. So yes, you can succeed without a degree. But it certainly helps to have one. And, these days, Universities including AJU offer online courses for time crunched professionals.

What that means is you can focus on work, raising your family and other important venues while still advancing your education.

Some programs even credit you for experience gained by working in the corporate world. This is important to me as an entrepreneur and one reason I selected AJU.

Don’t let the lack of a degree or the right “credentials” hold you back. Anyone can succeed. If your passion is writing, and you want to become a successful freelance writer, you can do it, with or without a degree. But when you have time, consider getting a degree. Select an online program that meets your needs, expectations and provides you the flexibility of online education if needed.

One of the things I encourage in ConsummateCash™ is following your dreams. You have to identify you skills, talents and abilities. Then combine them with your desires. You can learn how to write. You can get a degree. Remain constant, persistent and dedicated. Then search for solutions that work for you.
