I know from my own experience that no one has ever asked to see either my undergraduate degree or my law degree. Certain jobs do require these things---but part of hanging out your own shingle is making your own rules. Hi Marjorie:

I was praying on this just this morning. As I look for something part-time to help support my dream I keep finding positions that a degree is needed. I am talking about sales or administration, areas I have over 10 years experience. But being out of the workforce for 6 years now, things have changed. Even with the thought of going back to school, I felt I could still use the degree to help me in my business, but you are so right, this may not make me more credible. It will give me the debt I don't need. I agree with your suggestion of interning or volunteering to build visibility. My mission is so big and important to me and I just want to get up everyday and keep moving. Thank you Yvonne. I was praying on this just this morning.
