That's fine, and consistent with everything I said. The point is that,
since education matters so little in your field, it's odd to see you
crowing about your college GPA while conveniently failing to volunteer
that you never graduated.

I have even spoken at industry seminars about the inapplicability of
communications and broadcast courses of study, since they miss so much of
the social sciences and the technical disciplines like math and
statistics
as well as the business courses needed in the business. I am proud to
have
created my own broadcast curriculum, even if would never have gotten me a
degree.

That's great...and consistent with everything I said. Since a formal
education is so unimportant in your field, I'm sure you will no longer
be tempted to boast about your GPA while failing to mention that you
never graduated. Of course, that you boast about it at all suggests
that it is, in your view, of some importance.

Education, whether via work experience, seminars, home study, or in a
classrom is important. But at the end of the day, the value of a degree
declines the further one is into a career where evaluations are made based
on career, not academic success.

Ah but in that case, since you are well beyond your school days, your
GPA boasts make little sense. Either that or your formal education is
more of an issue than you let on.


And your failure to
mention that you never graduated is, again, like someone's boasting
that they once led the Boston Marathon while neglecting to mention
that they led only for the first five seconds. You aren't doing
yourself any favors today.

I never said I did graduate. I said I attended college; someone who
graduated would mention the degree and the major.

Correct. Yours was a sin of omission, not commission, but dishonest
all the same--and still further evidence that you do not, after all,
view formal education as of little importance for someone senior in
your profession.
