Is your degree worth the paper that it's written on?
Newest Review: ... But where would the world be without doctors, lawyers, teachers, engineers etc? Personally, I value education, but thats the family I come from and the influence I had from my mother. I couldn't thank her enough for that. I enjoy learning, and ok, that probably sounds corny, but I do. I love everything about academia. I am a student of psychology/criminology at the moment, and although it won't get me directly to my chosen career immediately, I enjoy my degree and it interests me.
