The tassel was worth the hassle

Dear all,

I know the following sentence is related to graduation, but what does it mean?

The Tassel Was Worth The Hassle

Thank you very much,

Given this: Tassels, or liripipes, are also found on mortarboards during university graduation ceremonies and possibly upon the shoes of the graduates at the ceremony. Near the conclusion of the graduation ceremony the tassel that hangs from the graduate's mortarboard is moved from the right to the left. Typically the entire graduating class does this in unison
I suppose that it means that the effort to obtain graduation (symbolized by the tassel) was worth the effort. In italian we could say "il gioco vale la candela"

 

[Einstein]

Tassel = Nappa, come quella che pende dal tocco (mortar-board) delle cerimonie di laurea.
Hassle = Fatica, sforzo.

Avresti trovato questi nel Dizionario WR.

The Tassel was worth the Hassle = la laurea è valsa lo sforzo/la fatica. Si usa Tassel come "sinonimo" di laurea perché fa rima con Hassle.

PS Vedo che max63 concorda.

Grazie, thank you

Avevo trovato fiocco per "tassel" e non facevo il collegamento con il tocco.
