I came from an exceptional State University and I finished with flying colors. I have a college degree in Interdisciplinary Arts that goes along with an honorarium from my department. For the last 15 years or so, I have worked professionally as an actor, writer and musician. 

For fifteen years I’ve never been asked more than twice about my college degree. 

By the exact same token, college was fun and I cannot say that possessing a degree has been a hindrance of any kind. Nevertheless one could ask the question, was it really worth it? 

College degrees do not value that much in the music business except if you are into classical music. Definitely not in the genre of rock, hip-hop and pop in any case. As a session musician enrolling yourself in a well known music school might be of great help. Nevertheless it’s all going to come down to how well you play, and more frequently than not, who you know. 

A college degree from a well-regarded movie school such as Julliard or A.C.T might be helpful in acquiring an agent. Nevertheless, you need to understand that the impact you make during your audition will always come first then followed by your degree. When it comes to actually getting work as an actor diplomas are about as helpful as flotation devices on a plane that’s going down. You can reassure yourself with it but what matters most are the actions you take at present. 
My college degree barely mattered even as a specialist writer. This signifies that it is merely listed on the resume I presented in order to land a job. Back in the days, the girl who was my boss must has inquired about it. Nevertheless, in writing what matters most is your performance and the individuals you know and this is the same with acting and music. 

If I had it to carry out all over again will I get a college degree? Probably not. I once played in a film with an extremely talented youthful man, who was just nineteen years old. He just finished high school and has decided to move to Los Angeles a few days after he received his high school diploma. He used to work in advertisements before we met and after the film he got a lead role on a sitcom. After several episodes he is still with the show. Certainly, bypassing college was a right decision after all. 

A college degree is a fantastic thing to attain. In another line of work a college degree can act as proof of your capability to do big things. On the other hand, a college degree might prevent you from landing huge roles during the most marketable years of your life, this is in fact true especially when it comes to the entertainment business.
