It’s funny, I went to college and got my degree in mechanical engineering. I’m glad I went and it’s definitely made my career easier. However, as a power plant operator, in my state a degree isn’t needed, just licensing.

    Graduated high school 12 years ago and never got any further education than that (college, trade school, apprenticeship, or whatever else). It’s far too expensive to risk starting and realizing I hate doing what I wasted money on or that any job that would take the degree pays less than I currently make or just straight up doesn’t exist (even if it did exist when I started education). My current job pays $50k in a small Midwest town which is fine for right now.
