I feel like I go to college not to be a corporate drone and make tons of money, but because I can’t think of doing a job I enjoy without a college degree. That’s just me. Getting a good job without a college degree, I think, is a lot of luck. Because, say you want to work for a certain position at Green Peace (I don’t know which one you want, so it’s hard to say). There are doubtless going to be tons of people applying for that same job (it sounds like a really cool one to have). Though no degree is required, there are going to be people applying who have degrees. Maybe in psychology, maybe in business, maybe in communication. But those people, even if their degree doesn’t have anything to do with the position, will look better than those who don’t. Having a degree shows an employer that you know how to work hard, you’re worldly, you find knowledge and education important. Without a degree, it’s hard to have equivilant job experience to a BA or BS, or even an AA. But, if you’re hell-bent on not going to college, it’s not impossible. I think the biggest determinant of who get’s a job is often who is the best-looking, has the friendliest face, and the best people skills.
