[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2248410, member: 5412"] I went to College, got married, had a pregnant wife, and tried to maintain a 40+ hour work week to make ends meet. The college suffered, and I got drafted into the Army during Vietnam. Was sent to school to learn electronics, and after the Army, I have used that education to this very day to make my living. Currently an Instrumentation and Control systems Tech in a power plant. I'll wager, over the years of working and not having student loans to pay back, etc, I have done better money wise, than the field I selected to Major in college. (Marine Biologist) There are lots of non-degree'd, or at least an associates degree level jobs out there that are paying $70K a year. Certainly better than the Ancient Egyptian language major or Philosophy major, or cake decorating major that some of the unemployed college grads went to school for. [/QUOTE]
