Is having a college degree the key to having job security nowadays?

It seems that the areas hit economically the hardest in the US are areas that have lower rates of college graduates and that have a large working class population like Michigan, Ohio, upstate New York, etc.
So is the key to future job security in the US being able to have a 4 year college degree or more? I mean do you really trust politicians will create enough blue collared jobs the end this recession anytime soon? I don’t.
I have a two year degree and plan on going back to get my Bachelor’s while working at the same time.
It’s no guarantee to be sure, but it doesn’t hurt to get one. By all means, go get your bachelor’s.
It takes drive as well.
Almost anyone with determination can get that piece of paper that says they have post-secondary education, but it also takes some more drive and determination and not just book-smarts to be able to stand out from the rest and have a career.
Post-secondary education definitely opens up alot more doors and opportunities, but laziness and half-heartedness can also shut these doors.
And there are also alot of people who do not have post-secondary education who actually go above and beyond people who do in terms of their careers.
No, having a degree in the right field is the key. There are many unemployed people with Bachelor’s degrees. My husband has a B.S and he worked a crappy job for 9 months because he couldn’t find a good job in his field…now he’s got a good job, but it isn’t in the field his degree’s in.
