[QUOTE="Al Anon, post: 134146"] Depends on what type of job would make you happy. If the job that would make you happy requires a degree, then get one sooner rather than later. I am a mid-level software programmer at Corporate. Got hired in off the street at a Supervisor level and have been promoted twice in 4 years. I could never have had the previous job experience that I have without my degree and could never have been hired in off the street at such a level without a degree. Also, the IT job market is really good in this area. What that means is that I'm not having to work the 45+ hours that operations supervisors work every week. If I was ever pressured to work more than that on a regular basis, I would just leave the company. My previous company started laying off people several years ago and it took me all of 3 weeks to have a couple of job offers including the offer from UPS. [/QUOTE]
