    Question College

    How much is a college degree worth when you are applying to a PD. Does it matter that you have one? OR is it where you earned you degree thats more important?

    In MI most departments don't consider college, they are more concerned with academy. 99% of departments will not sponsor anyone to an academy. I have more friends that got a job right after putting themselves through an academy.

    I would say you are better off at least having an associates degree.

    I'm in the middle of college, so I am going to complete anyway. I was told for NYSP a degree is looked upon favorably. But I am a skeptic. Seems like it depends on where you apply or how well you test.

    But I dont know...
