Everyone I know is telling me without a bachelors degree I might as well kill myself because without one I will be poor forever.

What do I do?
>>
Get a bachelors degree
>>
>>674280441
Kill yourself nigger

>>674280996
But I don't have money or the time to finish it. I am totally done with general ed.
>>
Learn a trade.
The world still needs mechanics, welders, plumbers, etc.
>>
>>674280441
Advice from somebody who got a bachelors degree - get an apprenticeship. You'll be earning money while you learn rather than getting into debt. Also when you finish your apprenticeship and everyone else finishes their degree, guess what you have that they don't? Experience. Employers always look for experience.

eww, I am a girl I don't want to do that shit. I want a desk job. Tell me how to get a desk job that doesn't require blowing the boss.

It will be more difficult starting out but not having a degree doesn't determine you being destitute for the rest of your life. The degree helps land you a job, you'll still have to work hard to get a better job and make any real money. Sorry for all the tense errors I'm tired as fuck. Should you get a degree? Yes. Do you need to? No.

Female welders on average make more money than male welders.

You don't need a degree to be a desk jockey.

Go to a temp agency and make sure you can type and use Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.

I am a welder, did it for a year and quit, it was hell on my skin and no way am I going to do that again to myself. Also fuck temp agencies, I heard they take a portion of pay.

Get a skilled trade or a degree.
Better yet, get both. Go to school while working in the trades, like a mechanic.
There could be a nuclear war and you'd still find work.

Translation: I am a lazy cunt
Unless you are impossibly hot, get used to being used up trash.
Unless you have a skill or a degree, you'll always be at someone else's mercy, even if you marry rich.
>>
>>674282115
Well I mean I didn't enjoy class and shit. It sounds like you're more than 1/2 way there. No point in quitting now, especially if you're going to have to pay off student loans. May as well get the degree with the debt.

I got mech engineering bachelor degree and can't find a job. you will be fine

>Only retards need a degree to make money

Teach yourself to fix the first and avoid the second, the money will come if you want it to.

Practical professions are high in demand. Don't let society tell you what you should do, just because you have a degree from college / university. Where I'm from there's a shortage of artisans, and throughout the years, around 5, 10, you gained enough expertise to start for yourself. It's payment much rewarding and promising and more then enough to live from. I never got a certificate from highschool and learned luckily at my uncles place how to become a car mechanic. Now I'm self employed and I enjoy every bit of it.

Then again, I'm well aware some people don't like doing this work, you really should see it as a passion. Having said this I hope to have cheered your thoughts and mind up. If you have questions feel free to ask.

Nah, I don't have a degree.
Started out as a call center agent.
Knew about computers a bit more than my fellow agents so I got transferred to a tech account. Got training as IT Helpdesk/Desktop support. Now working as an IT Admin. Makes 6x minimum in my country

Yeah but don't sell or buy Coke.
People that support such an unsustainable, murderous industry to get high are the lowest form of life, like people that eat or sell highly endangered species like bluefin tuna for a good taste

I have no debt, because I am using community college to do general ed.

>wants a real job
>won't blow the boss

Holy shit what's like in lala land?
Either get a fucking degree and get your cushy desk job, or actually take advantage of your trade skill and get work like that without finishing school. You're in a position to do one of two things, so buckle down, choose one and fucking stick with it.

Get certifications. You could go to lineman school at start at 60k a year.. potential for 80k in 4 years. My coworkers son makes 64k at age 19 and I try to keep my composure each time she reminds me.


I have a certification in surgical technology--and work with organ recovery and transplant. With my numbers for the last half of 2015 I'm expecting to make 80k this year if I don't kill myself.

Last year I used my savings to start a towing company here in town. I think it's finally starting to break even.. but as I mentioned. It's tough.

(And I want to kill myself)

But aside from my personal problems, I believe you can get further with certifications and networking rather than being fresh our with a bachelor's.

Although you seem a little misguided. Worst case scenario, you could always enlist in the military. That's what provided me with my surgical experience and networking.

Don't give up. But also don't undertake something that you can't handle. Good luck, anon.
