QUESTION and My RESPONSE...Would I hire someone without a Degree ?

Question From My Linkedin Group ... Would you hire someone without a degree ?...My answer...The short answer is ABSOLUTELY, If not I wouldn't have hired myself Lol... Knowledge is Power however, there is no law that states that Knowledge must come with a Degree or Certification. I Created a Wonderful Company "6K Systems, Inc"., as well as, Being on the Board of Directors and Board of Advisors, for various organizations . I aided an Amazing Group of young Artist and models in getting there foot in the door in the Entertainment industry "Get Tough Entertainment", and became a Philanthropist all before having a Degree. My Next Venture is going to be Phenomenal. So, I am a "Self Taught" very Successful Entrepreneur...Of course the question is also situational, I would have no problem with a " Self taught Musician" teaching me Music but I don't want a Self taught "Brain Surgeon" opening up my head Lol. Education is important and a life of continuous learning is Paramount for True Success in all areas of life. I am going back to school in the fall to increase my knowledge in a New field, I do not necessarily need the Degree but it would be nice to have. Having said all of that, I insist that ALL 7 of my children attend college. Two of my children have finished school one just wrapped up his first year. If they finish and earn a degree in the process that is icing on the cake, If they end up like Mary Kay Ash, Coco Chanel, Richard Branson,Simon Cowell, Michael Dell,Walt Disney, Barry Diller of Fox Broadcasting Co..Henry Ford, Frank Lloyd Wright and Milton Hershey...I think I can live with that...Opps Let's Not forget that College Dropout Bill Gates...and For the Record I'm not advocating not having a Degree...Just Saying success take many paths...

That is ALL...
