[QUOTE="Lowland1, post: 7551094, member: 66524"] I reckon my Agricultural degree was pretty pointless from an educational point of view anyone raised on a farm would have breezed through it especially those who read every farming journal ever published however what a qualification does is it show to others that you have reached a certain level and are employable without my degree I wouldn’t be where I am today not because I am using what I was taught but because it opened doors try getting a job without a qualification when everyone else has one. There are many self made men who never finished school or didn’t go to college but I reckon there are a damn site more stuck in rubbish jobs because they don’t have the qualifications to get a better one. At 16 I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my time than sitting on a tractor nearly 40 years later I still can’t think of a better way to spend my time than sitting on a tractor but it’s my choice no one is forcing me to do it and I stop when I want. If it all goes wrong I may end up being a failed farmer but I’ll be one with a degree who can get a reasonable job. I’ve spent a fortune on my kids education and I don’t begrudge a penny of it the truth of it is college etc is only for a very short period of anyone’s life . [/QUOTE]
