I mean, it works ... Apply for both, you might think you need the college to polish your skills but if the company hires you and you learn the rest there with real experience then... Amazing! PLUS THEY PAY YOU INSTEAD OF YOU PAYING so yeah apply for both, if the company doesn't accepts you then it only means that you need to improve.
Well lots of people want to justify all the money they spend and glorify the title... But being fair, some companies won't accept you no matter how good you are if you don't have a diploma, but it's absurd.
Anywayyyyy Good for Hotaru, she had all the skills and polished talent but never had true ambition.
