4 year degree's vs. 1 year certificate programs
I was just thinking the other day how going to Massasoit for a 1 year certificate program might get someone a better job than going to school for 4 years,(in my case way more) and also pay more money. Is it just me, or is a 1 year certificate better than a 4 year degree? This just can't be the case I would think, because 120 credits is a lot of credits, and I would think many jobs would open up to someone with a 4 year degree. Take teaching for example, you only need to get your certificate, then you can start teaching and making pretty decent pay. I just don't understand the education system. Why would someone going to school for less time be able to get a job right away vs someone who has been in school 4 times as long. These are things to ponder, and make me extremely frustrated.

The certification is important, but it's the degree that is supposed to show you know what you're talking about. I imagine the degree is more attractive because you're supposed to have learned things already, while the certificate just shows that you can test well.
ReplyDeleteThen again, maybe they don't want someone with four years worth of indoctrination preset.
its definitely something to ponder.......and think about the way the education system is set up.
