by education do u mean classical college education? to me, networking is education. its real life experience for what you want to do. college is a waste of time/money unless you work in a field that requires book education. im on my third year of community college and this i learned just about as much as i need in life for what im gonna do.

education meaning college yes

i wouldnt say networking is education per say

i would say networking is a way to get where you wanna go in todays society

because its more true now than ever its "who you know, more than what you know"

networking, people hire someone they like and teach them the job
u can do the job better than that person but they will still get picked over u everytime
education is important but who u know will trump it everytime

i couldn't get the job im in now without a bachelors :manny:

after you get your dck in the door then networking/prostituting yourself is how to get ahead. my boy got hired at Google because he knew the right people not because of his degree (but he did need to have a college degree to work there)

Education is the foundation.


Networking is what will take you to the next level

Professors don't know the game

At all

That's why they're professors

An education is good for bragging rights while networking

The idea that you learn something in a Harvard classroom that you couldn't learn online is total bullshyt

Education gives you mobility to go wherever you want. Relying on networking means you gotta rely on people you know all the time. You cant just quit and go elsewhere because you dont have the skills. So you are stuck where you are because they are the only ones who will look out for you
