knock off 10k.
experience is whats worth the $.
So for instance right now I engineer bank networks, pulse, master card, visa, and so on, with out the degree, but I make a shit wage, seeing the time I will have in during the 2.5 more years I have to atain the degree, I should be preety marketable in the 40k range if not better, I now I could get more money in another state just hard to move. I had offers from SEIMANS & Westing house in the south, and Lockhead Martin which I am still thinking about.
