College Degree.... Is it helpful? (want your opinion)

[Joe Demonte]

Hey BP Nation! 

I wanted to get your 2 cents on whether or not you felt it is beneficial to have received a college degree (preferably financing) in your investing career? 

I believe college degrees are great for people trying to get a good JOB working for someone else, but that isn't my plan. My plan is to grow a business, my own business. My goals are to net in the single digit millions. At some point I see myself having to get outside investor funding and was curious if investors see a "Finance Degree" as an added layer of security. 
Also, if the Finance Degree might actually help in my business operations. 

A great track record (school of hard knocks as someone once told me) is probably the most important factor for any funding investor. 

Anywho, your opinion is really valued so please chime in! 
:D
