is getting a degree worth it if you already have a decent career?
I'm 29 and make $70k/year as a hotel general manager that was a high school dropout. should i bother getting a degree?

only if you need it to advance or move elsewhere in your career.
in your line of work experience is more valuable than education.

coach those getting a degree with your experience and network at the same time. w/w

Hey my sister is an assistant manager at a Hilton. She got a degree but to be honest she says experience is much more valuable in that field. So like >>1622808 said, if it can't get you higher up then why waste time, money, resources to get a degree when you're already making 70k a year? If the probability of you being promoted to regional manager or something with a degree then you should do it. If experience trumps all then why the fuck does it matter?

networking and prestige
>>1622900
I'm assuming since he's already a general manager there is no point in networking through school, unless he wants to move to something else. Prestige however, sure.

If you want to end up as COO sure
must be a pain in the ass to get a GED, go into community college and then get a MBA. You can always stay in where you are though but damn I'd feel bad for that kid whose dad cleaned cum from bedsheets, if you ever plan on having a family of course

wut
I was never in housekeeping. I started at the front desk and moved to GM in 4 years
The cost of tuition plus the opportunity cost of not working for 4 years can be enormous. Plus, a degree is a gamble that is by no means guaranteed to increase your salary.
If I were you, I wouldn't consider seeking a degree. Of course, nothing is stopping you from educating yourself outside of work.
