AI Thread Summary
A college degree is generally required for advanced academic programs such as PhD and Master's degrees, as well as for professorships. For many jobs that are perceived to require a degree, having one is often necessary for securing a position that offers a salary capable of supporting a family. However, there are notable exceptions in skilled trades, such as electricians and auto mechanics, where individuals can achieve financial success without a college degree. The discussion emphasizes the varying requirements for different career paths, highlighting both the importance of degrees in academia and the viability of alternative routes in skilled professions.

To be considered for what?
 
I will try to finish your question with what I think you may have been trying to ask:

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math.

When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
