[QUOTE="SPLV, post: 5580929, member: 574611"] Not completely true. You cannot work your way up with no education to become an engineer or physician. Without an education, you are under a ceiling. How high that ceiling is depends on how new your career field is. Once upon a time, Joe Schmoe, a self-taught/home-brewed computer geek with no education, was able to find a real job. Today, companies will be relunctant to hire Joe for a skilled job, much less willing to pay what the position typically demands. Bottom line is, there are (normally) two types of jobs out there. There are the ones where you bust your *** for pennies right from the get-go (no education, straight to the work force) and the ones where you bust your *** for nothing at first (getting an education), and make the big bucks managing others later. You pick whether you want to be owned or if you want to own others, be at the mercy of another human being (your boss) or BE your own boss. I'm choosing the latter. [/QUOTE]
