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.

>>1622759

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

>>1622759
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.

>>1622759
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.
