Moreover, in order to get a decent-paying job today, you’ll almost certainly need a college degree. It’s not like it was years ago when you can land a job managing a store with a high school diploma. Now, there is too much involved with running a business or fulfilling job duties in other occupations, to rely on basic skills and knowledge. You will need to spend a significant amount of time learning your craft in order to succeed and going to college to earn a degree is the best way to do that.
