I am in my 40s, have two bachelor’s degrees, got my second SPECIFICALLY in my field, have changed job directions half a dozen times within my field (because money talks), and have used nothing from college that I couldn’t get in a month long certification program.
I’ve gotten way more out of getting the respected industry specific certs than I did in more than half a decade of school.
I’ve gotten a thousand times more skills from learning on the job from colleagues and working managers than college and certifications together.
Agree entirely.
