CMV: Your degree is not at important as the network you create and maintain

 

Higher education is important and essential for a higher paying job, and to have a skilled job. However, the degree you obtain does little to no good without a network of people looking out for you.

After graduation, it is important to have people to reach out to. They can vouch for your work ethic and are able to use their network to survey job openings, and informational interviews. Without a strong network, having a successful career is much harder.

I would like to say that it isn’t all about “who you know” but for the majority of work done after college, it is about who you know. This only becomes more prevalent when you continue to move up in the working world. You need to manage and maintain your network in order to get information about jobs. Moving throughout your career path it is essential to reach out to previous colleagues and others in order to find the next job. Without a network getting your foot in the door of a company is hard.

This issue is entirely job specific. Some careers are completely unavailable without the degree (doctor, nurse, lawyer, psychologist, social worker, engineer) while others put very little weight on a degree (sales, assistant). You've essentially taken a hard stance on an issue that is completely continent on the situation and is entirely not true in some situations and entirely true in others.
