alrighty then. sounds like you couldn't care less about what you do in life. why are you wasting your time? i agree with you. the ones that say 'just get a degree' end up managing gas stations or pushing papers at a local office. at 30 i'd think you have a little better grasp out of what you want in life. if you have a 'real job' then why are you going to school? doesn't make sense. you won't get more money out of a degree. my uncle has no college education and he makes about $65K a year. i have a bachelor's and i make $70. whoopdee freakin doo.

Depends on what you're in school for and how long you have been going. If you graduate and have that degree you have for more options on career choices. If not...you will have to get lucky in finding a job that you enjoy and pays well. Or start at the bottom and work your way up...probably in a company you will end up not really wanting to work for. Then you have to start over again. At the bottom. Or you can make good money at a job you may hate...like sales...or truck driving...

In most jobs, you can only go so high in the system without a degree. You can only climb so far on the ladder without it. Therefore, you will earn more money with a degree. Sometimes it sucks, I know, but that's just the way it is.

The truth is.. Not all degrees are worth the same and ba./bs. value is becoming lower and lower each day.
If your a business major and aren't earning enough however, maybe you need to switch jobs...

The degree makes good toilet paper but its true that it will help you make more money depending on you job. If you plan on working at KFC then no but if your doing something else yes.
