And yet I STILL hear that you can’t live well without a degree. Not that I have a degree, not am I living well, but it seems pointless when you are fighting for less jobs available.
My friend got out of construction labor (welding) to open his own barber shop. After running things for 2 years (collecting from those who have chairs there) he’s seeking his own barber license as well.
Hair always grows (unless we have to deal with radioactive fallout).
Yes. I always hear that, too. But it's false. It comes down to individual initiative. A brother-in-law has a degree in psychology, but is only a TSA agent. He was a car salesman before that, and before that was selling cellphones at a kiosk. Lazy jerk, he's also an idiot lib. Oh, he's in bankruptcy and blames the economy for his free-spending habits (flying 1st class, expensive hotel vacations, lattes and restaurants every day, etc.). Says the economy was supposed to turn around so he could pay his debts!
I know plenty of people without degrees who live well, finding good jobs and making good money, because they aren't lazy, and they spend within their means. And they aren't stupid libs.
