[QUOTE="James T, post: 1076538, member: 17369"] Maybe, but probably not. Options ARE nice but you still have options in your own business if you chose to take them. Like hiring others to take the beating. College degrees seem like the way to go but how many of you have seen college degreed people amount to absolutely nothing? As someone who is still entrenched in the employment industry and for the last 35 years, I see people every week with grandiose degrees who have done literally nothing with their education. And see people with no degree running circles around those that have them. A degree only works for those that have the ability AND the wherewithal to use it. There are thousands upon thousands of folks who have the ability, smarts and drive that make it all work successfully. And yes, there are those that have the before mentioned traits AND a degree who are really able to cut loose and make some interesting things happen. But they are far and few in comparison. For those of you without a degree but are extremely productive, don't cut your self short or brow beat yourselves. For those that believe that a degree is the path to riches, well, not necessarily. It's rare for me to meet someone that is absolutely happy with their job and pay. Have met hundreds who make 80K to $250k a year who hate their jobs. Money is important but it really is "relative". Had a boss once who was out of Harvard. He commented that he was astounded on how many bums graduated from that University. It's all about abilities AND [u]drive[/u] [/QUOTE]
