-:- is it true that having a degree means more money in this era?

I'll agree with you that a degree is an ice breaker of sort. But your last statement I will have to disagree with.

People like me who dont like school or what it represents are going just to get that paper by any means. Doesnt matter if thats finishing a BS with a 2.0. It doesnt tell you a GPA on your diploma does it?

Another thing is I dont like to work towards that paper(diploma) as hard I work for the green paper. Ive meet people just like that and their true colors wont show up on some exam, it shows in the workplace where your performance actually matters. School is whatever to me, but I still want to finish. When Im in the work place you wont think of me a someone who has just tried to slip by.
