for me YES! its extremely important,
IF you want to be a proffecional. but if its just waiting on the tables ,well maybe not/
Doctors, Nurses, Business Executives, Secretaries, etc. man or woman. must have Collage Degree right.?its important for them to have that right?

I wish I had that, and always my husband encouraging me that its not too late, doesn't matter how old you are if you think you need it to make more money, then think about of going back to school and get a College Diploma.......

thats my opinion.

this girl? wondering if something happened to her with plenty of kids to take care by herself what she"s gonna do? will find another guy to feed her and give her money for her nails to be done?........hm..... k....

syempre importante yun...
wala ka magiging problema sa trabaho,
or mas madali ka makahanap ng
mas magagandang oppurtunities or offers pag nakagraduate ka...

ako, i think isa yun sa mga passport po papunta ng japan...
bihira lang maghire ang mga japanese companies lalo na sa isang third world country gaya ng pinas...

di ako parang si juan tamad na aantayin mahulog ang bunga mula sa puno at sasaluhin na lamang ito sa baba......
iba pa rin yung nagsikap ka mag aral and in the end, you will gain...
ika nga No Pain No Gain...... (hehehe.. pain ng kapupuyat dahil sa mga walang kamatayang designs at plates sa school)...

yun lang...
i have nothing against sa ibang tao... this is just one of my principles in life...
kung gusto mong umangat, maraming paraan...
basta may ST (Sipag at Tiyaga..Manny Villar? hehehe)

teka, para lang ba sa babae ito? hehehe... nagkamali ba ko ng pasok?

as for me important po talaga yun, dito ako nagkaroon ng stable job, but I feel that college might not be for everyone, however, I do acknowledge that just because you don't have a degree, that doesn't mean you won't be successful.. :) like sa case ng mom ko, she didn't get to finish her degree (acct.), but she tried her best just to have a kind of life she wanted.. she never needed a man just to support her and our family.. about naman sa girl na yun, i feel sorry for her, what if iniwan sya ng husband nya, and sobrang dependent na sya, ano kaya mangyayari sa kanya?? walang tatanggap na company sa kanya kung yung attitude nya ganun.. haaay...

is she seriously a staff reporter? just wondering...

as for college diplomas - no it's not really important as a measurement of your capabilities. there are a lot of people out there who haven't been lucky enough to go to college because of financial reasons or disabilities or something similar, but it doesn't mean they're not intelligent or capable.

if it's a job you're after, there are times when capability, perseverance and attitude will be enough to take you places and up the corporate ladder. however, it's a fact that many companies these days take a good look at the name of the school you graduated from, and your grades, aside from your experience, and then perhaps base their decisions on those data. so yeah, a college diploma might be useful, but it's not the basis of everthing.

again, back to the article. is she serious? or seriously joking? women have fought for gender equality through the decades and lynzee stauss comes up with that? it'll be a waste of good brain matter if we just sat around painting our nails and going shopping :p I wonder how true-blue feminists would react to that article. :P

ako naniniwala ako na nasa diskarte ng tao ang pagpapaganda ng kanyang buhay. kasi meron akong cousin, he just finish 2nd year high school. pero rich na siya ngayon. he told to his parents na ayaw niya mag-aral at mag-aaksaya lang daw sila ng pera sa kanila. mas gusto pa niya na maging farmer. don siya nagsimula. tapos nag-alaga siya ng hayop. lumaki po ito.

samantalang yon iba naka-graduate nga, wala naman diskarte sa buhay. so ano ang use ng diploma.

if you dont have diploma find a way na magkaroon ka ng pagkakakitaan na di kailangan yon.

tama ka dyan kapatid... di mo dapat iasa ang sarili mong sa ibang tao... kapag wala kang ginawa para sa sarili mo, ikaw rin ang kawawa sa huli...

i think, college diplomas are no longer important. why? because nowadays, everyone can go to college even his/her mind is elementary/high school level(philippines). there is no longer screenings being done on who would/could take college courses. results, lots of college graduates(with college diplomas) can't have descent jobs. plus lots of so-so institutes/colleges/universities where one can have a legitimate college diplomas.

in other words, our(philippines) educational system is substandard that makes college diplomas no longer that important. and with regards to the article, that was just the writer's view/perspective.

just my views.:cool:

depende sa babae, kung pangit ang babae kailangan ng edukasyon.

kung maganda ang babae, kailangan na lang niyang magpaganda at maghintay ng mayamang mapapangasawa:D

ang magandang babae, kahit naka ilang asawa na, puwede pa rin.

ang pangit na babae, minsan hindi pa nga nakakapag asawa.

jackpot na lang kung maganda na matalino pa:D

College diploma is important most especially if we talk about education and respect. But it doesn't necessarily mean that if you don't have one, can't have an abundant life. I think it still depends on one's determination and strategies in life... ;)

a college diploma is important given that one has gained knowledge in the process of acquiring it and has been using those that they have learned. college diploma can make us self-confident. and it's equivalent to self-worth..

its true that we just have to look for rich men to marry in order for us and our children to have a good life, but you see, life is unpredictable. there are endless posibilities and the what if's. what if your husband dies, can you cope on your own supporting your children when you are not qualified to apply for good and stable jobs? what if, you are abused by your rich husband? you can't divorce him because you might think that you can't make it on your own...

college diploma and good education is the treasure one can't take away from us. we might not use it at the moment for practical reason, but it always be reflected in our character and disposition in life. college diploma and good education are like rifles in our life's combat.

kung malakas ang loob mo at kaya mong makipagsapalaran sa buhay hindi mo kailangan ang diploma. pero syempre mas malaki ang chances mo pag me diploma ka. sa tingin nyo ba sino ang tatanggapin sa mga openings sa company, yung me experience pero walang diploma o yung me diploma pero walang experience? wala pa yata akong narinig na company na tumatanggap ng empeyado na walang diploma.

nahihirapan lang naman ang mga me diplomang humanap ng trabaho kasi madali silang sumusuko pag di natanggap sa ina-aplayan o kaya naman ay walang confidence sa sarili nila kaya laglag sa mga interviews..

btw, ako gradweyt sa university of recto... hehehe:D

Ako nakarami ng companies na pinasukan kahit walang diploma.....swerte daw kasi ako, yun yata ang isa sa mga pwedeng substitute ng diploma L-U-C-K!:D BTW, Isn`t it that marrying a rich man may also be called luck which is not available for everyone?:confused: But to sum it all, I still want a diploma! hehe

Importante po sa kin yun. Na naka tapos ng pag-aaral at nagka Diploma. Bilang isang working student noong late 80's ang gabi po ay ginaga kung araw para lamang makatapos. At ang DIPLOMA kung yan ang siyang bunga ng aking pag hihirap. Pinag pagoran ko po yan at ipinag mamalaki sa aking ga chikiting patrol. Hehehe.

Balik tanaw ko lang po. Noong 1988, isa ako sa mga pinag pipiliang F&B Supervisor para sa isang hotel sa Guam/Saipan Resorts. Ang naging kalamangan ko sa ibang applicants ay dahil tapos po ako sa Kolehiyo.

Kung wala po yan, malamang mahihirapan ang isang taong mamuhay ng normal. Sa panahon ngayon kung ikaw ay di nakatapos at wala ngang Diploma, mahihirapan kang gumalaw sa lipunang masalimoot and full of challenges.

I feel that college might not be for everyone, however, I do acknowledge that just because you don't have a degree, that doesn't mean you won't be successful..

Just because you don't have a degree, that doesn't mean you won't be successful - I totally agree! Aanhin ang diploma kung wala ka naman diskarte? Ang taong madiskarte, umaaasenso.

College might not be for everyone - Agree ulit. Meron jan nagkakandarapa makapagtapos, pero ako I wasted my chances of getting my diploma. Minsan nagsisisi ako, sometimes naiisip ko ulit mag-aral.

I've worked before, sa company ng tita ko so it didn't matter kung may diploma ako or wala. Pero haven't tried applying sa iba. I think, it's really important to have a diploma, kasi kadalasan talagang hahanapan ka ng company...
