In reply to the discussion: Should a candidate running for POTUS at least have a Bachelor Degree? [View all]pugetres
(507 posts)30. Yes. There is no substitute for a good education.
Life experience is something that everyone in the world obtains regardless of their education level. But, I value a person who makes plans and goals and works hard to achieve them. Committing yourself to a college program is a good thing. And, yes, I do know that not everyone ends up working in an area that is reflected in their college degree. I still can appreciate the hard work that went into getting a degree.
