[quote=Anonymous]In the U.S. job market, unless you want to stay at middle-management or lower your entire career, you need a Bachelor's degree.  Otherwise you are shut out of promotions in many careers.  For the most part it doesn't even matter what the Bachelor's is in, except in some career paths.  They mainly just filter that you have one period.  Yes, there are the few exceptions of having a stellar career with no degree.  But you can't count on yourself being that one exception.  Meanwhile I've heard several personal stories over the years just with the people I have known of being skipped for promotions because they never got a Bachelor's degree.

I was doing a job search the other day and stumbled across postings for a Data Entry Clerk.  Filter?  Bachelor's Degree.  For a job where that is not at all necessary.

Down the road, they will greatly regret not being able to click that filter.  If they change their mind and pursue a degree, they will be having to do it in the midst of juggling kids, supporting themselves, etc.  [/quote]
