    I'm three credits away from my Associates Degree, but I don't care much about college. I'm basically self taught. I teach myself everything. I'm at odds with a lot of the stuff they teach in college these days.....

    Tenure is determined by how many publications you produce and how much grant money you obtain. Teaching is not important :(

    If you get a bachelors degree in something, don't you plan on needing it in your line of work? :/

    I've got my bachelor degree. I wish I could go back in time and do it all again! It's one of the best part of my life.

    B.A. in English
    MBA
    Ph.D. from seminary

    But take a lot of education with the proverbial grain of salt. The late American humorist Mark Twain had two great sayings:

    • "Education is not as sudden as a massacre, but in the long run it's far more deadly."
    • "I never let my education stand in the way of my learning."
