I'm finishing my last semester of online classes to complete my BAS in business. I don't need a degree but it's already helped me in my career. I landed a position with higher wages and pay then most entry level guys at my company. I've got about 10 years in automotive mixed working as a tech/service writter. Now to im a full-time service manager the next step is becoming a general manager. Most of them don't have college degrees but I'll get there in half the time as my coworkers partially cause I'm good at my job the other part because I have paper backing me up. In a few years I'll try for a management job at one of the big dealerships. I'll walk in with a business degree, my 10 ASE certifications 8 years experience running an indepented garage and a few years running a corporate garage should give me a leg up on other applications. It's all about making yourself stand out.
