I have been working as a project manager for a couple years now at a building material supplier. I want to further my career in project management. How important is a 4 year college degree. Cornell offers project management certification through online courses. Would this be worthwhile? I am planning on getting my CAPM. I only have an associates degree, so I will have to wait a few more years to get my PMP certification. Saving Changes...
Employers often use the four-year degree as a way of weeding out applicants. The thought is, if you don't invest in yourself, why should they invest in you. The other side of the coin is, America was built by people without advanced degrees. Depending upon the industry you are in, you may not need to pursue a bachelors.
If I were you, I'd apply for the jobs that match your skills, even if they require a bachelors degree. The worst is, you hear nothing. The best is they contact you. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Good luck! Saving Changes...
