30 hour a week service job....

[Skull Pilot]

Funny how I know people who started working at restaurants then became assistant managers then managers a couple of them now own a franchise or 2

so yes a service job is indeed a job that affords opportunity to those who will apply themselves and who do not think that simply stuffing burgers in a bag is a career

I know a guy......

Once again, as a group college graduates outperform high school graduates by a wide margin

For the most part, they didn't advance their education for a reason

funny how I know people who never went to college and they make more than all those idiots who got useless degrees in psych or gender studies

And FYI just because a person may not go to college does not mean he is uneducated

 

[EverCurious]

The folks who make it in without college have likely built up trust - they've shown their higher ups that they are dedicated employees that are worth promoting. This relies on high work ethics /and/ availability of position. There is, when speaking about a fast food or box store type job, a wage cap on that. In a smaller business setting they'll have a better chance of moving up, so long as there's not "conflicts" like a family member taking over or something.

If you do not /step up/ and earn trust then you will not move up, you also likely won't get raises, and you'll be higher on the list of "expendable employees" if there's a downturn in the business of some kind.

I know another guy who went to college, is chief financial officer for a major insurance company and owns a mansion

It is not a college education that guarantees success as you so naively think but rather the work ethic of the individual

There are no guarantees in life.

Life is a bunch of probabilities based on what you put into it. Someone who graduates college has a higher probability of success than someone who doesn't

Now this is the point where you tell me about that guy who dropped out of high school and is now a millionaire

I know a woman from Slovenia who dropped out of college before she completed one semester. She got a job as a high priced fashion model and came to America and married a billionaire

I guess you are right......who needs college?

 

[bripat9643]

In 1973, I paid rent, ran a car and fed myself all on minimum wage. 40+hr week. One job.

Yes. In 1973, I remember it well, gasoline was 22 cents a gallon and you could get 5 pounds of chicken for dollar in the economy pack.
Those days are gone.

Yep, so long as the Democrat party exists, those days are gone.

Sorry but no. Not all degrees are equal

Anyone without a degree can make as much as or even more than your average college grad with a worthless BA

They can.....but they don't

Those with a college degree demand a higher salary than the average person without one.

Not all High School diplomas are equal
