“College brings higher pay: $1,053 a week for the median bachelor’s degree holder last year, versus $638 for a high school graduate with no college”
I tend to believe the difference in pay has more to do with motivation and intelligence than it does with “collage”, per se.
I’m a high school drop-out but have worked my way into a $100K a year job.
But that took a lot of work and self-starting.
I have worked with a lot of talented people like you who did not have degrees. They really pay for it in a corporate environment.
