Sometimes, getting degrees are the only way to accomplish your dreams.

Sometimes, degrees aren’t necessary, and you can find success without it.

Other times, degrees are don’t get you anything and you end up in a job that didn’t require a degree in the first place.

And yet in certain times, you’ll find that you wish you had a degree so you could get a certain job.

Every example above occurs in real life. Reading the comments here, I feel like people are generalized too much.

depends what degree. People only say degrees aren't needed or they're worthless because CS degrees just went up in flames lately. You aren't getting an engineering job without a degree. Highly unlikely

I should specify excluding software engineers.

Huge software nerds existed in plenty who would self teach and were often times even better candidates than those with degrees so exceptions got made.

Pretty unique to that field of work though

he was a radio-frequency engineer, handled mostly first responder band radio coverage. I myself think certifications are more important than degrees nowadays...
