   If you have a college degree, has it helped you obtain a higher paying job?
   
   If not, do you regret spending the money to go to school?

   Sure, it helped me to get a higher paying job.
   But it is not enough, you should keep improve your skills, as the world is changing fast.
   Especially, if you work related to computer & medical...

   No it hasn't.  Yes I do regret it.

   it hasn't really helped me either ... yep i would say i do regret it at times. from what i've personally seen ...  it's much more effective to get paid higher if you're ready to get into the sack with the qualification of a 10th grader.

   Definitely. When there was a promotion in the Administrative level, I was always number one in the rank because of my 3 Master's Degree in Education, Social Sciences and Business. If you have to finish a degree, do it good so that it can be used to climb up the corporate ladder; but this is also depending on the type of job you have and the company you are working with. I am College Professor for more than 20 years now and am working in a private College, so my Education Level is a necessity to get a position in school. With the higher position goes up also the compensation.

   Yes, it certainly has! A degree has helped me land a decent job, and I feel college education has given me a good return on investment. I believe all students should go to college and earn their degrees which would definitely help them build a secure future for themselves and their families. You can read for yourself how students say they benefited by going to college and earning a degree. A good place to begin would be California College San Diego student reviews.
