no college education will eventually lose, that is if you decide to keep working for someone.
My father with only a semester at college makes 100k, but you dont know how many times he's not gotten a job because of some kid with a college degree and 1 year experience... many times.
Sure he makes roughly 110k a year, but he could be making so much more. Dont let these non-college people fool all of you.
experience is what you make of it. i work for what i got. thats why dave got fired, he wanted a free ride. fuck him. ive jumped up 15K worth of pay in 6 months.
...and my girlfriends father was once pulling down $150,000 a year and the second American in line in a certain photocopying company without a college degree.
Guess what happened when all the layoffs happened about 5 years back? Thats right, they cut all the experienced people who commanded high wages from their years of dues, and they replaced them with kids fresh out of college that were willing to do the same work, or near the same quality work for much less.
Many people who were "grandfathered" in without college degrees, that made their living from experience and climbing the ladder found themselves screwed when the stuff hit the fan.
My dad was a regional manager of the #3 cable provider in the nation, about 6-8years back, let me tell you - he's no longer a regional manager. He only has a two year degree from a community college. He still does well, but once he was out of the job he couldn't find his way back into the same paying job because he had no degree. The same could be said for my girlfriend's father - he now makes a small percentage of what he once did.
Basically you're throwing rocks when you're in a glass house. A college degree is the greatest security you can have in todays workplace. I hate college, I don't want to be in it, I could have gone to a premiere college in the nation - top 5ish and now I'm going to a top 20ish college - and I still hate it. I just go because I know I need that stupid piece of paper that says that I dedicated 4 years of my life to something, so an employer knows I'm committed and they'll take the risk on me. Sure I can interview well and land a good job, doing what I want to do in sales, but its a moot point since my expansion potential would be limited without a degree.

LOL.
I had a friend in high school that worked on a fish boat every summer. Always came back with 20k+.
I have a couple friends that put fencing up and do specific things for arenas and stadiums, like lay grass and such that would come back from a summer with 30k+.
They'd work 70hour work weeks one or two weeks then be off for a week, then back on. They were taken to places and given free food and hotel rooms while they went out on worked on projects at places like Giants Stadium.
Of course the father has connections with the mob and is an oil tycoon, but regardless the kid brought a couple other high school friends in and they were making that kind of money legit.
Thats pretty re-god damn-diculous.
good luck
to dropping out.
