Conversation about a college degree came up with a buddy. Neither one of us have one. I wish I would have stuck it out and had applied myself. Never too late though.
Anyhow I do OK but by no means am I sitting in money. I have seen some guys that fair well both with and without a college degree. I have pressed both my daughters to acquire a degree. I am not sure now if that is the right move.
I am not against ANY (legal, rightful) employment that "pays the bills". In the profession I am in there really isn't much difference in pay with or without a degree. Though if you want a Chiefs position in most places it is required.
A degree can also be a nice piece of ornamental artwork to show off. Your no smarter then the guy below you, though you have a degree that says you finished something. Hands on and common sense don't always mix.
I know a few guys that have faired really well without a degree and some that not so much.
