it absolutely helped me land my first job in a better position than I would have gotten otherwise. A degree was a prerequisite in my industry, that has since changed, but there was no way I couldn’t get the degree at the time.
It was a shit job, but it still got my foot in the door.
no employer gave a flying F about my education after my first job other than ticking the box by “has degree”.
I had a very similar experience. I had a degree, didn’t do anything with it. Got a cheap certificate and it got me into a good admin job. Since then I’ve done absolutely nothing to do with my actual degree but it works great when applying for internal positions for upward mobility because I check the “has degree” box.
That being said, I absolutely loved my college/university experience and wouldn’t trade it for the world. While I don’t think anything that I learned in the curriculum helped me significantly, everything else I learned has.
