Get a degree
After a Chronicle of Higher Education columnist called a bachelor's degree "America's most overrated product," we decided to ask your opinion. Gradebook readers completely disagreed.
Here's how you responded to our question, Is getting a bachelor's degree overrated?
- No, college helps you learn to think, a necessary skill in the real world. 141 votes - 67%
- Yes, you can succeed in the work place without one. 70 votes - 33%
- Kids need to stay in school as long as possible and wait their turn for my job. 1 vote - 0%
Now we want to know what you think about summer vacation. It has just begun, and there already seems to be precious little for kids to do. Is the break from school too long? Click in your view. And as usual, if you have any ideas for future questions, or any other thoughts about the Gradebook in general, please send an e-mail to solochek@sptimes.com.
