you paid for a piece of paper, most of us on here worked to gain real knowledge.

while you were paying to read books and listed to old ***** wearing depends i was making $42K/yr when i was 20years old. and even when you do start making money , it isnt even yours if you still have to pay off loans

You did good, but that's not the usual, if you don't have some type of higher education, you usually end up cleaning toilets, or flipping burgers. Sure work is work , but I rather be sitting on my *** and making money. The amount is reletive to where you live. $50k a year in let's say Iowa might make you rich, $50k in California and you are poor.

That's one thing. Now it took me 2 years to find a Job after school. Why? because like you said they would not want to hire someone with no experience. I took a job making less than I should, but more than my old retail job to start gaining that experience. You probably will have to start like that, at the bottom of the line. It happens. The work your way up.

In the next 3 years I have doubled my pay, and in 3 weeks it will be my year anniversary working for this company. I will get a raise again, and I can actually keep moving up and around. But I like it here, great company, big established and growing.

It can be scary, but just jump out there and find something. If you are new, no one will expect you to come out and put out like a pro, it will take some time to learn their system and what they do, but companies know that, so don't worry.

I'm still stuck with the problem of not knowing WTF I want to do

I still have no idea what i want to do, I have a few ideas, but thats about it. School has been great and all but i'm realizing that i need to grow up and move on.

I'm not even sure of what to do for a major. I was thinking of just getting my 2 year "general studies" degree then venturing from there and trying to figure out what I want to do by doing different jobs.

$13/hour kinda sucks for a bachlors but i would still take it as a last resort, keep this job for a few months if you dont find any better starting offers and just find something better later on. You just have to play bitch boy for the first few months/years to jump start a career, go online and submit your resume and see if you can find somethin better. Oh and BTW congrats bud, i got two more years to go to get my business degree

even here $50k isnt much but for a young person w/o educataion its doing damn good. average salary around here is $75K + and some people say its pushing it living on that. we (me, my fiancee, and our 2 daughters) are swinging it because we arent material like most of the spoiled brats around here who have had everything handed to them. its all what you make it. i'm not saying college is a bad thing but is far from a nessesity. hard work and swallowing your pride can go a long way.

75k isnt enough? cost of living must be high as ----!

That's why I'm saying it all depends where you are from, evem $13 an hour, like in florida, is a decent job. You won't be rich but it's enough to live. You have to take your chances and start low. Then work your way up.

You gotta look at the pay in your area and decide what is good and what's not.

College makes it alittle easier, but hard work will be the factor deciding between who moves up and who stays down. Bullshit talking, and sucking you boss' dick also help.....I don't do this its hypocrite. I work hard, if you like it good, if not good. I'm not a bitch boy....but being one if you can handle it will help you move up.
