You will need a degree or certificate to get a good job. Many 2 year colleges have a degree that is quicker to obtain and you can start working right away, Good luck.

You will need to get a teaching certificate. This is usually something you train for at college, I think you need at least a 2-year associate degree, and you could try looking into community college.\n\nHowever I urge you to get a proper 4-year bachelor's degree if you are going to be a teacher. There are way too many undereducated teachers these days. I am constantly amazed at some of the basic errors and thoughtless parrotry that comes out of today's classrooms from the teachers. We need smarter teachers, not teachers taking a shortcut just because they like kids. If you really care about kids, you will care about being a good, smart teacher so they can get a good education.

That depends on whether you get an engineering degree or an Information Technology "IT" degree. The easiest way is to go to a community college and get an IT associates degree which can transfer to a 4 year Bachelor's degree later on if you decide to take all 4 years instead of just 2 years. A formal engineering degree involves math, physics, chemistry and other stuff you really don't need if your going to specialize in computers and computer networks. However, a 4 year degree may get you more money than a 2 year degree at big companies.

The ones I know about are teaching, a writer for books, newspapers, etc, try publishing houses, all sorts there like proof reader on a big scale\nsome use these degrees to get into law school\ncould be part time instructor most anywhere, even preschool, some states require education classes as well. my daughter got a position as a sub teacher in one of the southern states with even less. might try govt positions, you can most likely get foot in door, political assist is open from what I have seen. a masters with only a few education class can get you into a 2 yr college job

Good question. To some extent it depends on the type of occupation that you are interested in. Some of the occupations are quite skill-based and they might best be learned in a trade or technical school (and you couldn't find these programs at four year colleges). Some occupations--engineering, for example--you can only enter with a four-year degree.\n\nOthers are increasingly seeking persons with a broader education. For example, nurses are increasingly obtaining a bachelor's degree in nursing as entry level and as a requirement for advancement in the field. More persons in construction management, for example, are seeking four year degrees. Many businesses look for managers who have MBA degrees, which are earned following graduation from a four year school.\n\nIt also depends on what you want from a higher education. A higher education has traditionally meant learning not just a major area of study but also broad learning in arts, humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. It has meant being in a learning community where you can meet and interact with people from different regions, belief systems, points of view. It meant having your current beliefs challenged--not necessarily to change all your beliefs, but to encourage you to examine why you believe what you believe and how you can actively pursue your beliefs and values. I think that this is one of the important parts of a four year degree program. It helps you be more aware of the world, understand more of what people talk about, and appreciate art, music, etc. This is what higher education really is. It isn't exactly straight job skills, but it does help you learn skills that translate well to a job.\n\nFor example, the skills that most employers are looking for have to do with things such as analytical ability, ability to communicate, to do research, to solve problems, and to understand others. These skills are commonly called transferrable skills because they "transfer" to any job. Take a look here for a more in-depth discussion of transferrable skills: http://www.quintcareers.com/job_skills_values.html\n\nWith regard to experience, it isn't necessarily that employers prefer experience to education, its that they want both, and new graduates may not have the experience that employers want. But there are ways to get this experience while you are a student. There is cooperative education--where you alternate semesters of study with job placements. There is volunteer work, student organization leadership, summer jobs, internships and service learning. All are ways that you can get experience. Oftentimes internships and service learning end up leading to jobs with the companies or agencies in which you did your internship.\n\nBest wishes to you in your future. This is a great question to ponder as you plan your future.

Engineering, mechanical engineering, structural engineering and art...4 year Bachelor of Science degree at a minimum, although Masters degree would place you at a better competitive starting point.

If you mean substitute you can probably take a community college course in it and get certified pretty quick, other than that you're going to need some college experience.

I would get a short term degree or go through some type of certification process. Real Estate is a good example, quick and easy to get into and you can make as much money as someone with a four year degree.

A degree is practically essential. Most "professional" jobs require it.\n\nYou can substitute experience, to some degree, for education, but not as an equal exchange. 4 years of college is roughly equivalent to 10 years direct on-the-job experience in many fields, so your time is better spent earning that degree, whenever possible.

Fair enough. Education will open about 50% more vocations to a person. Many jobs require at least a 4 year degree. Dependant on what vocation you're interested in, the answer varies. For instance, a welder needs experience for top pay and will make more money his second year working than a mechanical engineer with 2 years on the job. At 5 years, the engineer will not only surpass the welder in pay, but will continue to increase his lead for the rest of his life (due to increased experience). They are equally important, the difference is the starting field - which education, not experience will get you.
