Topic: Does a college degree still matter in the digital age? (Read 753 times)
I think we are entering in the age where diplomas aren't important anymore or maybe most of the time. The clients would prefer experience than the papers that they just paid for. But I would still prefer to have it because it's an accomplishment.
college degrees will stay matter in all ages just not in Tunisia
Why? what's in Tunisia that made them an exception?

i will say yes, it still matters because every employer is looking up about education background, though there are some employer accept even just 2nd year in college or even undergraduate but the competition is still there for every applicant and most of the time degree holder is chosen for a certain job.
It still matters i think
A lot of employers look at your level of education before hire you

For doctors and lawyers college degree is very important.
in the digital age these jobs will be heavily supported by machine learning / AI.therefore we will need more coders and less lawyers/doctors.
regarding the question: it depends. a computer science degree will matter. but it will be more important that someone can code instead of having a useless degree.
maybe online school certificates will matter a lot....
Without a degree or without a finished degree you may find yourself being blocked from promotions in favor of other candidates regardless of your performance.
in this digital age ,you can learn anywhere instead of studying in school where you have to waste much time in the classroom. lol
In spite of that most jobs wants their workers to at least have a Bachelor Degree before they can work there with the exception of a few jobs in the IT sector which although don't require a college degree require a professional certificate.
Degree is matter only when you are working in scientific spehere in other cases you need only skills to work and if you are good nobody interested what university did you finish..
If you have the skills for a job then a degree is not important.
I think college degree still matters. Yes it is digital age but it doesn't mean technology can make all the job. We have to go to college, have a degree and get a job
Yes, I certainly agree with you. Having a degree is always an advantage for us if we have better dreams for the future. Yes, digital business is on mainstream but it's better if we'll have an assurance for our future. Better get a degree so that you'll get a better job someday. Education is our pathway to success. Be sure to be on the right track.
I tried to vote in poll but looks locked or ended. I have a degree, but work with many people with no qualifications. So yes you dont have to have a degree to be successful.
I think in the software hardware industries you definitely don't need a college degree. You can do better if you are self-educated.
We just have to remember that we live in a world that is still old fashioned and the only recognized educated persons are those
who have collage degrees. I have a software company and to me it does not matter if you have a collage degree if you can do
what I ask you to.

I have two degrees and would say it's the college experience that has been valuable over the years. ...The relationships and social dynamics learned during that time.
Education is always a self fulfillment, it may not matter to you but it matters to other people, at the end of the day it really depends on what you dreamed of yourself. Successful don't always have the degree but for most people it is measure of self attainment.
It doesn't matter much as long as you know what you do in life and have a clear road map of your life. Its a social stigma to have a degree and get settled in life, but the life is much more than a degree.
Having said all this, college life is fun atleast for that you need to have a degree

Learning never stop regardless of age and time it is still important, it is for our own advantage and benefit, education helps us a lot in many ways, it's the only things that our parents wants to all us to finish our study and gain a degree, specially now that this world is full of competition, they're looking for a qualified, knowledgeable, smart, a competitive kind of employee and being skillful in digital area is one great thing and biggest edge one could ever have.
Without a college degree (or higher), you can't get decent pay in any area.
The reality is that if you don't have a degree, finding a job is a challenge.

It depends on country. However empoylers care more and more about job experience than just your degree.
