[QUOTE="Fredkrueger100, post: 3691224, member: 24577"] I almost have an associates degree and I am a certified CNC and manual machinist. I don’t use either. I work for the gas company. I started as a meter reader and now work at the measurement center testing meters. I make pretty good money and have excellent benefits. I make more than a lot of people with degrees. There are many jobs that a degree isn’t required but companies want them anyway. My wife started with her last company in 2004 as a data entry clerk, no degree or anything. She rose the ranks and ended up being director of Finance for the business office. She made $84,000 a year with no degree. Now she did get some certificates such as a controller but no degree. That just goes to show how worthless some degrees are. It’s a bunch of crap to suck money out of people. When a person goes to college they have to take the same dang classes they just took in high school. All to drain more money from the student. College should be just like tech school. You go and learn the career you choose to do. But that won’t happen because the colleges won’t be able to rip people off and make tons of money anymore. That and they won’t be able to indoctrinate like they do now. [/QUOTE]
