Answer 1

Without a degree, your chances of landing a position with any stock or brokerage or insurance company is slim. They won't even hire you as "commission only".

You want in a field that is predicated on credibility ... on having competent, intelligent advisors ... and you don't have the minimum education for it.

Answer 2

Some things were better made in some ways. There was obviously more metal and wood and less plastic in most things, so they had a more substantial, less flimsy appearance. But products are built around what the designer perceives as the customer's expectations for its life expectancy. Most people expect a vacuum cleaner to last about 15 years; they might pay a little more for one that will last 20, but almost nothing more for one that will last 30, since they'll be looking for the latest model by that time. This is part of the reason why post-war refrigerators have shorter lifespans than prewar ones; before the war, the public was suspicious of the longevity of these expensive appliance; some had reliability problems, but the ones that didn't tended to be overbuilt and lasted forever. After the war, the industry concluded that most people would be looking to "upgrade" after 15 or 20 years, so they lightened up and parts that were designed for a longer life. This made the models of that era bigger, lighter, cheaper and even more efficient, but their life was shorter. Of course, there were exceptions to that rule, and the 50 year-old refrigerator you see on YouTube is probably better built than most of what was sold back then. TVs from that era seem more permanent than today's models, with metal chassis and real wood cases, but they needed to be repaired once or twice a year. Today's TVs work reliably while they last, but many of the parts go out of production after a year or two, so if they die after that, they are unrepairable. Some of the things we buy today will survive beyond anyone's expectations, but we don't know which ones they are. When people find those items, they'll marvel at how much better things were made today than at that point 20 or 30 years into the future.

If you think you are good - consider trading for a living. Nobody can hire or fire you. Or blog your take on the market to get a following.

Answer 4

I'm in the same boat as you man.

All you can do is join one of the chop shops that say "paid training" - at least it'll save your license.

Or park it somewhere.

And get the degree while you work.
