Got my BS degree in Computer Information Systems in 1987. Never used. After I got out of the Army, My degree was 4 years out of date and they could hire new grads for less. So I tried going into Financial Planning, it didn't work out, so I went into Logistics. (As an MP platoon leader, I was responsible for moving a Mech Infantry Brigade from one side of Germany to the border, that's my story and I'm, stickin' with it.)
The 4 year degree was just proof that I could make through school, nothing more.
