However, while the statement above seems true, one has to also work smartly because it is not always about how hard you work, rather it is about how smart you work.

College sometimes does not have much benefit in terms of career success so I was just wondering what else I could do so I can have a secure future. As of right now, I have been going to college on and off and I have been there for a very long time because of my emotional situation. I just don't know if I'll be back and if I were to go back I wouldn't know what field I should get into where the work does not seem like hell as it does to many people.
OK Bro, You're either incredibly naive, listening to advice from a complete idiot, or you're just bored and trolling cause you cannot think of anything good to do.

There are no short cuts unless you're old money, even then most of the time your parents, trust fund manager, expect a certain amount of work/drive/effort out of you.

Folks you see with a lot of toys, the nice house, the 2.5 kids and a well manicured mistress lawn work their asses off. Just because you don't see someone doing hard physical labor doesn't mean they aren't working hard. Using your brain for something other than watching sports and smoking bud is work.

Finish your degree and NOT just FINISH bust your ass an get good grades in a technical field... It matters, For instance my wife more than doubles my income as an Art Director. How? She Graduated with a 4.0 in Math, I graduated with a 3.1 in Fine Art. Go figure, those grades and the type of degree really does matter.

Not quite...nowadays, kids graduating from college would be lucky to find a job, and if they do, it's a shit paying one. The only careers worth a dime are the medical professions, and that of course requires much more schooling. What are the top paying jobs? anesthesiology, surgery, etc.

well, don't worry too much, if the economy continues going south, which it will, we'll all be in the same boat as you.

I started my own business and have never had a job. I think you should start your own business lol, or work at a sell phone shop. It's very chill

Alright so let me get this straight. You graduate in a year and expect to make 65k+ a year. Alright first no
Second if you have the determination you may want to get a masters degree. Once that is obtained 80k+ is easily obtainable. Get 5+ years experience and 6 figures now come walking to your front door. Are you going to answer it or make a sense-less thread on how to make 65k+ and get me all riled up.

Are you this womans husband?

OP, it's not going to happen without some sort of a degree/certificate. If you can find one, by all means, please let me know too. lol
To make that kind of money to start, you need to have background experience as well as completed college/uni.

Sorry but I need to say this, stop finding excuses to not finish college.
I'm sure you can handle your emotions much better then the way you are now.

Funny fact, it's also still just as illegal no matter how many times you do it

On a serious note, working on the BMW website is not a bad job But hella stressful at times.

Where can i sell my kidney? Ill love to sell one and get the million to hook up my 335. LOL



Fastest way to get to $65k without degrees is getting low paying job first and learning the skills and become a professional at it.

Its not true that degrees are needed to make 6 figures. Of course you will start off quicker and easier jobs but i think starting from the bottom and learning a skill will/can get you 6 figures in few years as well.

Some peopel will be suprised how much some labor workers and self employed laborers gets paid.
