The problem with money is that everyone (well almost...everyone) wants MORE.
Every post that I have read regarding your question is true. Education and degrees are what make you money
----unless you were born lucky- are EXTREMELY intelligent and invent something-marry rich-or win the lottery. You will probably be a working stiff for the rest of your life...(like the rest of us).
I read a great quote somewhere about a 40 year old person saying that they would love to go to school and get their BA degee, but it would take a long time, you know full time job, kids, whatever ...they figured 5 years and the remark was, "Yeah, I'll have the degree but I will be 45 years old!" The person they were explaining this delimina to said..."Yeah, and if you don't go back to school and get your degree, in 5 years you are going to be 45 anyway!!"

Just something to think about Markolos

Me, I am 48, I possess no college degree, I am female..(married and my husband makes good money, not rich or anything...but we can buy the groceries without havingh to apply coupons or get stressed about going, so I am not alone financially.)
I have only been married since I was 30 so I was alone financially from 17-30 and I had lots of jobs, some I hated and some I ....hated, some paid more than others but always with a price. It took me a long time to find out "what I wanted to be, when I grew up" If I have even done that?? not sure ----but
I am finally in a job that I LOVE, ( I am a school secretary at an elememtary school, wait...I mean...Administrative Assistant to the Principal... ) I'm not making alot of money at all!
I think in my job it truely wouldn't matter if I had the degree.
But some business, careers, jobs, whatever...you need that paper, experience of college and expertiece.
Just a thought, my friend
