You know, I have had some really high paying jobs and obviously low ones, too. I don't think you ever "have to have" a degree. If people do what they love and love what they do, no one is going ask that they go out and get a degree! Education is a powerful tool, but so is your inspirations. If you really want to make money in today's world, get your degree in "technology". Good Luck, my friend.

All the God paying jobs are on mount Olympus in Greece.
If you want a good paying job, Try asking the career recourse center at your college. They might have information on internships or temp agencies.
