That’s what I did and shouldn’t have. I did very well in tech and ended up not going back and finishing.

Now that I didn’t finish my degree 12 years later it makes me so 2x the effort to move ahead now that I’m a manager

It’s a ridiculous feeling when your subordinates have masters and you don’t even have a bachelors. Just my $0.02, I ended up fine but work twice as hard, if I’d just stayed that extra 2 years

Now I have a family and am taking a year long leave of absence to finish my degree, after spending over 10 years doing it in my side time, I have a year left. It’s is unnecessarily nerve racking

What lead to needing twice the effort? I feel like I have put in a fraction of the effort of my peers who went to college.
