@HoytArrowSlinger, I’ll trade you my bag of Cheetos for your ho hos.
-
@BigJohnson86, regular or puffs?
-
@HoytArrowSlinger, crunchy
-
@BigJohnson86, deal
-
@HoytArrowSlinger, trades make tons of dough. I guess people expect to make money without learning anything

@HoytArrowSlinger, I got into welding and pipefitting, and indeed it is a better option, if you're willing to work 60-80 hour weeks most of the year. Of course you dont have to but its the only way to move up and or afford everything in the economy right now, and once you've moved up youre expected to so... dealing with the politics of every new place youre contracted to in your company sucks but thats a given in any job, and certainly you can get certs and work your way up to management, but as I said it costs you more time. I love doing this kind of work, but I can't consider it a win. I'm not saying these things to turn people away I just dont want anyone to join a trade without considering exactly what it entails, thats what i did, it sucked. The only way I can think to actually beat the system making good money at reasonable hours is to be self employed in the trades, and I wish for all my fellow tradesmen that that comes to them in the very near future :)

@MILLIONSAREDEAD, I do say this understanding you gotta be willing to put in the time to get out something good, of course you do, but the something good in most places I've been is a cycle, and you'll be 60 doing it before you know it with that kinda mindset today

Look I made 50k a year doing multiple side hustles 20-30 hrs a week in college. If you got a fully working body and you can’t make a decent wage get your ass on indeed everyday until you do. Part time tends to pay more than full time so split your workload and figure it out

My GF has her masters and she makes $65,000 a year! She has deferred her loans for almost 10 years, stating she doesn’t make enough to pay them off. My friend went to college and makes $80,000 as an engineer and he told me he pays $100 a month in loans! When people refer to this, it’s the people who major in Gender studies or feminist theory or a liberal arts degree! I know college is wildly expensive and shouldn’t and doesn’t need to be that high, but let’s be honest, 75% of the reason people go to college is for an experience and to gain independence as well! The degree is sometimes just an added bonus!
-
@celtics313131, I was gonna give you an upvote, except for that last sentence. Fvck university, I hate it, I'm literally just here for the degree.
-
@Myredhulk, sorry friend
-
@celtics313131, Thanks, I'm trying.
-
@celtics313131, my GF has a masters in as a medical professional and is still struggling.
-
@ImaginaryKyle, sorry my friend! That’s why I said at the end, I realize college is overly expensive and something needs to change. It just doesn’t ring true for everyone
-
@celtics313131, I had an AA and was making 90k. I got my BS and promoted. And make close to 120k Opportunities are out there.
-
@RogueKnight, what is your BS in?
-
@Augustweather, My AA is on marketing. I worked in retail at the time. Then I moved to law enforcement. About four years into that career path I went and got a BS in Criminal Justice Management.
-
@celtics313131, degrees are definitely helpful in a lot of fields but there are ways to get that money without a degree. I haven’t finished school yet, doing all online and working, I’m taking my time and not going hugely into debt by working while I go to school in the background. This year I’m headed to making the most ive ever made with 85k.
-
Finished high school with a D- and now make $75/hr being an electrician with zero school loans.
-
I got my GED and now own an 18 wheeler (i.e. small business owner)
-
*being in debt for most of your life just to pay off college*
-
One of my friends has a masters degree and she's excited she just got a job in her field that will pay her 12.50/hr... my part-time retail job starts at $17/hr. Something is wrong with this picture. Oh, and before you say something about gender studies or some crap, her degree is in a STEM field.
-
What do you mean my Master degree in slam poetry isnt going to get me a good job?!?! This is an outrage!
-
I went to a two year college and paid cash and now I make good money as a network engineer
I dropped out of high school and got a job with a utility company, learn a trade people
