Hmmmm, is a college degree worth my time...hard question. If that's what I need to be a police officer/SWAT member, then unfortunately yes. However, should I not need a degree to be what I want to be, then no. Why waste my time and money on something I have no interest in getting other than I need it? There isn't one. To me, degrees are just some title that really doesn't really mean anything. What's more important, a skilled worker in the field of study, or someone who has a degree in the subject but has never actually done what they got the degree for? Experience, outranks everything.
