Getting a degree doesn't mean you'll have it any easier than a guy with a high school diploma. It's a smart thing to do so you have something to fall back on in rough times, but if that's your only reason to go to school.. I say follow your heart. You might find your niche a few years down the road and actually enjoy school then.

But that's just me and I could be wrong.. :jointsmile:
with youth its okay BUT as you age the words Degree Preferred mean no degree no interview. I learned the hard way and I was a higher up then layoffs and then i had to go back to school to get HALF the salary i got before, BUT at least i got interviews without the degree i got jack and shit. hopefully this doesn't happen to you but it did me and it was a nice swift kick to the balls.

As far as age 18 unless im paying for an Ivy degree then its the day he graduates.
