College serves Corporate America as a very important tool for measuring a person. If a person is willing to throw away 50-75 thousand dollars and 4 years of their life to get a degree that person will be willing to do almost anything to keep a “professional” position within a company. This means that Corporate America knows that said people will work tons of OT and will salute and Amen any new initiative the company dreams up. Like...diversity...or Lean electronics. Said person can often be counted on to put their career above their personal life.

College serves Corporate America as a very important tool for measuring a person. And some corporations, like the one I worked for 21 years and retired from, offer tuition reimbursement for employees. Yes, it can be difficult, working full-time and getting a degree, but a lot of us have done it.
I heartily recommended it to a lot of the younger employees - let the company pay your tuition and books, and do it NOW while you're young. Don't wait until you're married with kids and all the responsibilities that come with it.

Surely you jest? I deduce from your screen name that you spent 4 years playing Dungeons and Dragons instead of pursuing a college education?
