Personally, I think most of the time, your degree only matters in the very beginning. Once you worked for a couple of years, you can literally throw that piece of paper away.

A good honours degree will prob help to open some doors and in some cases allow you to start on a slightly higher platform. But how far and fast you can climb after that is dependent on your work abilities.

*work abilities include skills like knowing how to get recognition for your work and managing your bosses well.
