as Walu said .. you do a degree because you can :)

It adds minimal value to your job/life

Those quadratic equations :)

With the current state of our university education, what value is it for the people taking up this jobs. What does university education add to them that they previously lacked?

Yawe,

Dont try to ran away from a degree bwana!  I know a Kenyan colleague who got a degree at 65yrs of age.  Not because they were looking for a job, but just because they could (had the opportunity, the brain and resources to do it).  I strongly believe you have the opportunity, the brain and the resources to get that degree - just because you can.


@Walu,

For once, I have completely failed to understand the type of justification you have used to try and convice Bobby to get a degree.
With this particular reasoning, wasn't this degree as a good as a paper for the water closet?
