Here in Oklahoma newly minted petroleum engineering graduates are pulling down $100k per year and petroleum land management graduates are getting $85k per year. So you are right; college is such a waste of money.
And after all the taxes that's what? 49k a year?
Considering the dollar is becoming more worthless by the month...well..
My dad sent me a link related to that industry, though I don’t have enough money to set myself up with a place and enough credits for a welding class or something of that nature.
Though I have a medical problem and I know that any further education would be wasted money, no matter how simple because the condition leaves me in a mental fog all day. If it was just work training, I could do it, but a classroom makes my brain go numb.
The idea is definitely interesting though, I’m in my mid-20s and I’d really like a high-yield job, even if just for about 5 years or so to get a good head start for myself because I’m lagging behind my peers pretty badly.
