Default Re: Should I go back to school?

I do have some business knowledge. My father owns his own businesses, and will be helping me run the pharmacy til I get everything under control. It's not that complicated to run the business side of it anyways.

Businesses run by knowledgable people fail every day. What happens if online poker falls through and you get divorced (I know,I know. You're in love). What's your fallback? Having a backup plan (i.e. a college degree to fall back on to obtain a job) is like having insurance. Nobody hopes they need it but if you do...

It doesn't really matter what your degree is in, only that you have one. Most jobs require a degree, not because a degree proves competence but because the lack of one usually means lazy ass bastard to a potential employer. Given your future plan, I would think a business or accounting degree would be an excellent use of your time.
