I couldve gotten one of those but I was already in college with a career in mind and unfortunately I decided that career wasnt what I wanted to do after doing it for a few years.

Yeah but your/our parents arent going to have to live in this world when everything inflates and becomes more expensive 20+ years down the road. $25 an hr aint bad money, but is around $700/wk takehome after taxes for a 40hr week. Thats $48K before taxes a year, which is mid 30’s a year take home on avg. You can definately live on that, but when you have a house/cars/kids down the road money will be rather tight.

Like I said, Im not getting on anyones case about not going to college, its just not for some people, myself included a few years back! There are plenty of people who have become sucessful without degree’s, but it is harder and harder to do now days.
