[QUOTE="Over 70, post: 2552675, member: 65928"] I have a 4 year college degree in my early 30's. Found many jobs using it for 30-40k a year. All dead end, boring office gigs. Got into construction field. Could make 40-100k easily with no degree. Big money requires travel, local only work can be feast or famine. Work in very poor conditions at times, little in way of Healthcare or retirement. Much harder on body. UPS...OK money until you make top rate. Steady work once you're no longer a bottom feeder. Allows me to still do construction work when ups is slow as they are always in need of a guy who can do a,b, or c. Most importantly, I enjoy being out by myself and doing the actual work. So yes far from my dreams but then again I'm not sure I really ever had true dreams when I left high school other than to be happy. [/QUOTE]
