You need to narrow down to a field that points in the direction of one job, for instance the medical field or therapy, my wife got her masters from Utica College in Occupational Therapy, got a job right out of school (actually had about 4 or 5 offers right off the bat) and makes very good money. > > Me personally, I never finished college (I also didn’t pay for it either I used my GI Bill) but I found a good job that I have been at for over 5 years now with good pay and benenfits. I consider myself lucky because it wasn’t easy getting a job right out of the Marines, especially as a radio operator, doesn’t give you many fields to work in! hey leave my incredibly generic not usable 4 year degree alone :ahh --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-im-still-in-college-because-i-dont-want-to-get-a-real-job-yet-thread/260205)._
