Yeah, it is true that having a degree is not an access to securing a job not to even talk of a good job but no matter anything, having a degree is good because there is this feelings of confidence that comes with going through the four walls of the higher institutions and attain a degree at least even if it will not guarantee getting a job but the knowledge you acquire in your field of study may be useful to you in the future. The question is do having a degree in a specific field of study means anything? NO it doesn't because if it does we should not have people who studied other courses in a different jobs that is outside their area of study. Many people in the world today are working in places where what they studied are not relevant. The labor market is too competitive since there are lots of graduates out there applying for same positions when there is little vacancy for such jobs and that is why making sure to establish a business of your own should be given priority then if you are lucky to apply for a job and you are hired, it will be a plus for you since you already own a business.
