Degree or no, mistakes like that don't look good to me as I read a resume. Oh god!!! 
That's the first thing I noticed, but I wasn't going to go there. But, you did!  | |

Being in the military kinda negates needing a degree (unless you're an officer, then you have to have a bachelor's and beyond)...but its recommended that enlisted folk continue their education to better their promotion potential.....the best part is that, in addition to the G.I. Bill, we can take classroom or online courses towards degree completion while we're on duty and the G will pick up anywhere from 75-100% of tuition costs (we pay for books)...and your field of study isn't limited to what your job is (for instance, I'm in telecommunications/IT, but my degree work is in Sociology)...
I can say without a doubt that my piddlin' assed associates degree is directly responsible for my continued upward mobility....and when I combine the diversity of my experience/expertise with my education (which I am continuing), I'll be pulling some serious bank after I retire... He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow.

Well I just achieved my associate's degree. and being that I am the only one in my family who has attended college, That speaks volumes any achievement isnt a piddlin' ass degree. Its huge at least for me | |
