text: if you already have a good job, would it be worth getting a college degree? i already have a decent job in the field i love working in.  i imagine i can get by and be pretty successful without going back to school and finishing my degree.  however i am thinking of going back and slowly finishing what i started. yes, it would be worth it! even if you don't want to advance in your career and are happy where you are, getting your degree is obviously on your mind.  it's a goal of yours, and i think you sound like you would be proud of it if you accomplished it.  it probably can't hurt anything to go back and work for something if it is important to you.  good luck!
