It gives the student some work experience to not only solidify the education but also looks good on a resume. Employers are more likely to hire someone with proffesional experience than someone with a degree only

in my personal opinion, I thought you should. Internships give you an avenue to learn as an "apprentice" officially. Somehow, people are more willing to mentor you when you go into a company as aa student. But there is one risk in which the company throws all the unrelated errands for you to run. This is where you'll need to be firm and choose to work with a spirit of excellence and an attitude to learn. Always ask for more when in doubt and when you're idle.\n\nIt's a great experience.

The purpose of a Bachelor's degree is education (in the classical sense), to make you a more complete person.  Of course, in practice, that may help you find a job.\n\nThe purpose of a technical education is to prepare you for a specific job.\n\nSo, the choice is really about what you want to get out of school and out of your life.

The reason for vocational school is so people can learn about and persue more hands on.. trade related careers.  I've found they are starting to call Vocational schools, Community colleges now.  Basically the schools programs are trade related, the tuition is affordable and the programs run at the most two years.. depending on what course you take though... electricial and plumbing is a little different..\n\nI went to Vocational for an Industrial Rigging  program, it was a great program, cheap, and I got a great paying job immediately .. can't beat it.  My friends who spent way too much money for a University degree are still working dead end minimum wage jobs.. \nfor some reason they still make fun of the school I went to..

Sixty-five percent of people with a degree do not work in their field of education.  Earning your degree means to a business you can take instruction, are able, generally enthusiastic, and especially moldable.  What do YOU like to do?  Go and find yourself and GOOD LUCK.

in the engineering feild, age is a plus.  engineering requires common sense that can only be found with time.  Most young college grads in this feild are viewed as nearly worthless.

Any degree will help you get a secure job.  It shows you are dependable and willing to work towards something.  It also shows you can complete things once they get started :)

It is a good investment.  You generally make much more over your lifetime with a degree than without one.  The difference in what you would make with compared to without is far greater than the cost of the schooling.

The degree, or formal education, is your way of proving to the institute that you are qualified.  Without it, all you have is ideas.

I should think that a university degree trains you to do well in the entrance exams.  Therefore, it would appear that they are of the utmost importance.

Education is a result of experience, we learn from our experiences and through them.  Without our intitial experience during childhood, we would have had the hardest time learning, because we use our experience as our reality.  This experience is also the foundation of our education.  Now, we all have an obligation to go through schooling for a certain amount of years.  Some go to higher education and others don't.  Going through higher education gives you a wealth of experience of having fun and meeting new people.  One who did not go to get higher education is just as more likely to go through a similar experience.  Our society however needs proof of how reliable of a person you are, and what better way than to see what kind of education you have had.  It sucks, but it's the reality, right?  Of course, if your long term goal in life is to become rich, you will never be rich.  If you want to be rich, you will find many ways, even without having the education.  An employer should go by both, and they do check your experiences and education.  If however an employer requires that you need at least a BA or BS degree, and you do not have one but have lots of experience, they should choose which ever weighs more.\n\nBut no doubt, i believe experience is more important in life.

Its a whole lot like a business degree, it doesnt mean very much. The jobs where you would think it would count the most dont really care if you have one. Take police, for example. That job is experienced based, and tho it counts a bit (in that it will give you an edge over someone who doesnt have one) they need so many people that it wont matter in the long run and in the end the knowledge you get in the Academy is much more important than class-room learning. Keep in mind, any degree is good... very few people actually end up doing what they went to school for, and companies who care about college degrees generally do so becuase of what the degree SYMBOLIZES (perseverance, desire to learn, punctuality, etc.) much more than what that little peice of paper says. Hope this helps

The first most important thing is to graduate and than it's the GPA that comes into consideration.

It depends on what kind of electrician one would want to be.\n\nThere's residential, commercial, industrial, controls, maintenance...and probably a handful of others.\n\nThe first three usually involve apprenticeships (typically, helpers) dependent upon the statutes in your area.\n\nControls and maintenance are usually fields that require some form of formal learning.\n\nAlthough it's not especially critical to the job, electrical theory (i.e. Ohm's Law, etc.) will, no doubt be taught in a formal learning environment.\n\nOn the job, pipe bending, wire pulling, wire stripping, splicing, lugging, terminations, and generally keeping yourself from getting killed is important.\n\nWiring diagrams and blueprints are essential learning.\n\nI'm probably forgetting a ton, but those are sort of the highlights.

Not necessarily, especially if you are the type of person who can start a business and make a success of it or if you are very creative or enterprising.  However, if you are counting on being employed by someone else the college degree will make a lot of difference - hundreds of thousands of $$$$ probably over your lifetime.  And it is something no one can take away from you ... once you have it, you have it.  It will open far more doors for you than will be open without the degree.
