Wow neat stuff. I’ve never managed to fall in with that chunk of society. Probably for the best, I’d probably do something dumb.
Until, I was graduated with a BS in Bus Adm and got a job with a top tier company, I basically knew what my social limits were with the top dog families/ available women in my area. I was lucky to invited to their exclusive New Year party/dance.
My College Dean recommended that during my second semester my junior year to take 2 ~ 3 hour courses at the local college in my hometown. To age and not be graduating before I was 21. The two professors @ the smaller college had been his students at the big college.
Suddenly, with gals at the local college and a few from my local class, I was a positive target.
I was invited to join our local country club and got some good free golf and tennis lessons. That resulted in a few local job offers. My dean back at the big college, told me, “Don’t do anything stupid. Return to the 4 year college and get my degree!”
Great advice. What was amazing then and later on job interviews or getting unsolicited job offers, no company nor person needed/wanted to see the copy of my degree. The same happened after I got my MBA.
One son is a vice president for a major company, and he never had to show his degree. His son our grandkid will be graduated this May and has had a job offer for months.
His sister has been an official RN for 3+ years.
She was working not officially as an RN yet, and the hospital where she was working was withdrawing money for a 401K. She asked me what that was for. I explained it to her and the reality that she had a job waiting for when she became an RN. She passed that national test and got a doubling in salary.
Again, she never had to show a copy of her RN degree.
