Do you believe a degree is a sign of good character ?

Question

I’ve met a lot of college drop outs since finishing university and most of them are terrible people - I think a university degrees shows you are willing to tolerate liberal points of view like inclusion and diversity and respect and kindness

It also shows you are willing to do things you don’t like if it is part of your duties in life

Somebody who lacks liberal grace or humility and accountability is likely to have bad character

No, it means that they can apply their intelligence to tasks.  It says nothing of character.  Think of all the lawyers and Wall Street people.

I believe what you put into your education, work, those around you is a sign of good character. If you are accepting, willing to leave something better than you found it, etc it is a sign of good character. We coach our students & team to continuously grow through development, acceptance & leadership.

Not necessarily. There are people who go to school for several degrees then never do anything productive in life.
