I know dozens of high school drop-out, high school grad, GED and college drop-out millionaires and I’ll bet everyone here does, too. In my experience as a sales recruiter, I’ve found that high school level people often make better salespeople. I don’t know what they’re doing to people in college these days, but it’s sure goofing them up in sales. Anecdotal information doesn't change the reality that the less education you have, the more difficult it is to find employment and good salaries. Of course it doesn't help to bring in 1.1 million permanent legal immigrants annually along with 650,000 guest workers every year to compete with Americans for jobs.
I was making mid six-figures in sales with only a high school diploma in the 80’s and re-created the feat with a BA in the early 2000’s. I was the same person. Neither employer knew my educational background. Wish I had my health back, I’m sure I could do it again.
