Look at the bright side. Once you have your degree, the world is pretty much yours.

I wouldn't go that far. I have a Masters, and the world isn't mine...but it certainly helps in certain cases. Also, I make more money now than I ever have.

While what you say might be your truth. I am not bagging on you but look where you live. Unless you know somebody a degree don't mean shit. Over here on the east coast it is a big difference. I am working on my degree right now and making only 40k in my profession (I have 9 years of experience and a security clearance). My Uncle and Stepfather are in the same field with degrees, and making 6 figures a piece. So in most circumstances you can have the world by its balls with a degree.

I will agree with that in certain cases. I know that I struggled with 20-30k a year jobs before I got the degree, but now I make around 70k a year. For out here where my mortgage is only $540 a month, that's a lot of money. Some of that has to do with my maturity of the years too. I've learned a lot from observations, and making mistakes.
