For the blogging side of things, absolutely.
But that has been pushed to the back burner for the short-term.

For the editing business, no. Not at all.
I'm faster, more thorough and I provide better guidance to my clients than my competitors because of my education and experience.
Without it, I would still be effective, but I wouldn't be as efficient.

Over qualified for the position? Yes. Over qualified for what you learn? No.

I don't have a degree, but make twice as much as my friends who do. Either I overachieve, or I need smarter friends.

There's a big difference between being book smart and business smart.
I've had some excellent role models to follow as I've built my business, but I know there's much more to learn.

From an economic standpoint, it was damned foolish for me to pursue a degree in an industry that was on the verge of dying out.

But as means to an end, the degree has worked.
Better yet, it takes full advantage of my God-given talent; if I were an accountant, I'd blow my damn brains out. h:

I'm naturally good with math. So I'll be a janitor.
