This question is not really CLEP related, but I need to get a bit of encouragement about attaining a degree. I will have my BS/BA degree by February 2008 (that is, if I pass all four of the CLEP's I have left), and as I'm looking for potential jobs, I am wondering if I will be able to even land a good paying job even if I don't have the specific experience they are looking for. I would like to go into accounting or finance, but I am worried that I won't get hired because I don't have the experience. I know that a degree is a worthwhile goal, but will it truly transform into more money? It seems most people going for a degree are already in the field or company that they want to be in and a degree will enable them to move up the ladder, but I want an entirely different job. As a side note, I plan on going on to get my MBA, which will take me one year more. Say for instance, I wanted to go into management, but I only have the MBA and no experience. As you can see, I am still deciding what I want to be when I grow up (I'm 43..lol)
Any thoughts?
