So if you don't have a college degree

[TBone48]

I work as a manager of the QC Department for a manufacturer of industrial coatings and color concentrates. I got a job in the department while I was a senior in high school. I feel pretty successful, 50k + per year. I only work till 3:30 pm, get home with time to work out & play w/ the kids before dinner.

Let's see. Lower class jobs like:

Carpenter, plumber, electrician, sheet metal worker, steel worker, welder and other low (tee hee) paying jobs.

The sad reality is that those jobs will likely earn more for the talented worker than your white-collar job.

Keep enjoying your perceived notions of class and you'll find yourself at the bottom.

I think Descartes was being funny, but you're right. My cousin owns his own electrician company (?) and makes well over $500K a year. No degree.
