I make 35k a year. This is starting salary. I do pest control. I work like 5-6 hours a day and I get 3 months vacation in winter by default. However people making less than me with college degrees are telling me to go to college. I don't get. I will make 40-45k next year.
I read these "average salary" surveys. They say average salary of some one with a 2 year degree is around 32k 5 year 40k and masters is like 50-55k.
I mean if I went to college for 6 years. Probably cost 100k to do that+ the loss of 6 years pay of not working. So the total loss, assuming in 6 years my 6 year average salary is 45k a year, would be 370k not including interest. I am getting the impression that people with college degrees, hate people who are successful without a degree. I don't even think people care how much I make. Will I ever get respect without a degree and a G.E.D?
What if every American went to college?
40 million poor people in USA 40 million crappy Jobs. Would they dissapear? NO
