> diploma is a garantee of nothing. for some jobs they are highly overated. i don’t know what ur field is thou. In my job, i think just working here edjucated me better than any school could have. So i’d have to say in marketing and sales, a diploma is overated. Its like lebron, he’s developed better by jumping straight to the pros. All those stupid science classes and what have you are a fucken waste if ur are going to be in sales. College is a rip off but its a shame you need that piece of paper for most corporations.

Anymore degree/education gets you in the door. Obviously experience will get you the job. He is going to school for Graphic Design. If he quit now I imagine it would hurt more then help. Unless someone is barking down your door right now to give you a job in design. I would stay in school and keep gaining real world experiences with side jobs.
