Diplomas are fine if you are doing something hands on. My diploma in Business got me no where. Good thing it wasn't what I wanted to do....
Working on my Bachelor's now.

There are lot of Hondas in the lot actually and only a few Corolla/Matrix. I guess people dont want to own a car they build and see hundreds of everyday.

Lots of higher end car though. Many of the young guys I work with still live at home and making $30+ an hour they buy nice cars. Lexus IS, STi, Z06 Vettes, Porsches, Bimmers, Hummers, you name it.

a bachelors in "business" is basically just as useless.
