I stopped going to school a year and a half ago. I was in for a liberal arts degree. I just needed time off. I plan to go back and finish up, but I seriously am finding it difficult to motivate myself to do it.
At work, I'm already making more money than the "average" english/liberal arts grad (which isn't saying much), and the field I was studying had EXTREMELY limited career options. I only really chose that field because it interested me, and I'm truly awful at the math and science fields and have no interest in working with computers.
I'm sure this topic has been done to death over time, but for those of you who didn't go to school, or dropped out, how are you doing financially? I don't expect or need exact figures.
Everyone says college dropouts don't do anything, and maybe lots don't. But I'm making more money than my friends who have finished their degrees (granted, they all did Psych, History, and other nonsense degrees). I work in a ******* public library.
