I worked my way up to a high paying job in the corporate world. I was working my way through night school when I started making decent money at 25. I quit going to school and concentrated on getting better at my job. I now make as much money, or more, as my sister who is a lawyer. There can be a conversation going on about any topic, even one that directly relates to my profession and she automatically discounts my input because I never finished school.
automatically discounts my input because I never finished school
Sadly this is pretty common. I am in the same boat, didnt finish college because I figured why the fuck am I paying some old hag to tell me where Vietnam is on a map, how is this going to help me at a job, it wont, its a damn money grab. Such a waste of time and money. I said fuck this dropped out and glad I did. Still get shit to this day about going back to get my degree, and its the same reply from me, why there is no point a degree doesnt prove you are smart or good at your job.
