You should expect to do work out of school. Some people will get lucky, but most have to put in some time doing something that others have moved past as they've advanced. Can't all be CEOs at 24, tbh.
Exactly. It's not something exclusive to certain fields. If you wanna be successful then busting ass, making connections and good impressions your first few years outa school is key. There isn't a major out there that leads to a 90k a year job out of school where you work 40 hours a week or less and the work you do is fun stuff.
Not in an absolute sense, no. Again, it's in the eye of the beholder.
I know some...well, frankly, quite unintelligent people who are planning on starting law school at bottom tier schools and will probably do average at best at those schools. AKA they are indebting themselves, while not working fulltime, for degrees that they will never use.
The idea of being a lawyer appealed to me years ago but I never realistically considered it because going through law school always seemed like such a pain in the ass. I'm glad I didn't get myself into that .
Anyway, I think we will see most salaries drop as things continue to be automated and outsourced, the college graduate (undergrad and grad) population continue to increase, and population in general increase. The natural level for the economy of the US can't get too much bigger, for the professional job sectors. There will continuously be more highly educated people but the disparity in rate of new job creation will increase. Moral of the story is to study and practice something you enjoy.
Blah, work hard, educate yourself in some trade and keep your nose clean.....I have journeymen friends who make much more than most MBAs...Moral of the story is to study and practice something you enjoy.
....and the premise that one MBA is better than another MBA is baloney....to take full advantage of your MBA you use it to qualify for a higher status, higher paying position, not to make more money at the same position your at....
Of course alll MBA's are not created equal. An MBA from the University of Phoenix is not the same as an MBA from UT. Its not even close.
I have a buddy who is just computer savvy. He has no college and has always had a good IT job. He told me that the worst people to work with were people who have degrees.
dem intelektuals thik they bettah then us hard workin men!!! mah hig scoool diplomah is jest es good as a coleg degree i sey!!!!!!1
anti-intellectualism, anti-education, anti-science, anti-facts, anti-rationalism are fundamental aspects of conservatives' toxic "philosophy"

Those law school numbers are crazy
book lernin'

GFY
You guys crack me up.
Personally, I went the college track (hybrid engineering/architecture degree) but I am friends with at least 10 multi-multi millionaires here in SA that didn't...either skipped college completely or did a couple years and then went to work. All smart guys...they were just ready to move on. Personally I'm not sure the degree I got was really necessary for the small success I have had in life.
This forum is a prime example that people can have a college degree and still be stupid mother ers.
Study: For-profit college students end up with lower earnings
In a new working paper filed with the National Bureau of Economic research, a statistical analysis of for-profit college students show that earnings are significantly less than students who attend comparable nonprofit schools. The study found that “income in 2009 is approximately $5,500 lower for students starting at for-profit ins utions than for students starting at not-for-profit/public ins utions.”
Kevin Lang, the lead researcher on the study and a professor at Boston University, told Raw Story: “I’d certainly be very cautious about putting a lot of my eggs in the for-profit basket as a policy tool for improving labor market outcomes for disadvantaged workers. At this point the case has not been made.”
Other research has found that for-profit students make up about half of all student loan defaults, even though they make up about 12 percent of the general student population. The default rate among students at for-profit schools is 15 percent, more than double that of student who attend public universities and more than tripple that of students who attend private, nonprofit schools.
This study also confirms the findings of a previous NBER report that found for-profit students in 2004 were earning $1,800 to $2,000 less than their nonprofit peers.
The U.S. Department of Education issued regulations that would have restricted for-profit colleges’ access to federal student aid if they couldn’t meet student debt requirements, but a federal judge gutted one of the key aspects of the regulation in a ruling this weekend.

Its not the idea that people need a college degree to succeed in life but if you line up 100,000 non degree holders and 100,000 degree holders I'm pretty damn sure I know who's going to come ahead.
I agree on your last point but there's no reason for you to call out Darrin like that.
LOL awesome gif
One of my best friends wives is in accounting and has been doing just fine. I don't think she works 80 hr Weeks, and makes a good living
Probably not the most representative sampling one could take tbh.
