    I graduated my bachelors and have had to deal with the real world for a year. It's scary.

    Why is going to school important? Unless it's training to be competent at your craft, I guess? But even for allies who is a super genius she will still need training at her job.

    It's important because it's important. Nobody respects you if you have no education beyond high school. I don't have anything against school, I just want to have a goal more specific than "get a degree in anything at all." School is expensive! I don't want to go there just to dilly dally!

    What do you want to do? Then decide if you actually need a degree. For many fields, it isn't necessary. Even if you got a degree (or three), what would they be, and what would you do with them?

    It would make a lot of difference in salary, if you get a degree in the field of question at least.

    What kind of degree do you get if you want to be a chef? Or a woodsworker? Your reply isn't what she needs-- you've spent so long participating in and worshipping academia, I doubt you remember what the outside world is like anymore

    A degree in the culinary arts would help get you a high-profile job easier than it would hinder it. Being taken seriously without one would be difficult, though not impossible.

    I think that people underrate the perks, both emotionally and even financially, of being skilled in a trade. Besides the obviously example of skilled plumbers make 6 digits, I have a really good friend who is already making a very decent living of crafting and such, and she's only 21. While it's true that having a degree helps to be taken seriously, it's not what gives one the skills they need. Those come from the hands-on.

    Also, rubah.
