you can get a good paying job without a degree and you can live poverty with master’s degree.
Bachelors seems to be the bare minimum if you want something of decent pay, how you could go to a trade school and get the same effect.
Bachelors is the new GCSE.
College is tough and in most any program or degree you choose, you are not going to “feel it anymore” after a few semesters of studying. I certainly felt that way when I was studying engineering.
Probably something in finance or computer science. Psychology is a waste of time unless you plan on getting a master’s; engineering, law and medical are intensive but worth it. So depends how much effort you’re willing to put in.
Plenty of good jobs with no degree, plenty more with certifications or associates degree
I know three people with psychology degrees who are working the same retail jobs that they would have gotten with a high school diploma. look at what each job field is paying and how easy or hard it is to get a job in that field. talk with people in those fields. radiology should be a good field. usually, the medical fields do very well pay well, and are easy to get. radiology should pay well. talk with people working in the field and look up job listings for each field.
I think experience is more important than a degree. Find a field you want to be in and start from the bottom up. Prove that you are a great employee, but never outshine those above you. I have an Associate’s degree in Business and started my career working with people with disabilities in group homes. I was internally promoted twice and now make a pretty decent salary. Plus no debt is always great.
You can get a good job without a degree. I’ve known people with degrees in nuclear engineering working at Jimmy johns.
As an electrician, construction safety “officer” looks to me like one of the easiest jobs out there for someone who is able to complete a degree program but is also unambitious. They don’t actually have to be able to do any construction work, and don’t really even have to understand how it’s done. They just walk around with clipboards and take pictures and go to meetings and fill out forms and check your forms to make sure they’re all filled out and have been checked by the appropriate form checker. It’s a real bullshit job, which may be just what you’re looking for. You won’t make as much as the electricians and plumbers, but you probably will make more than the sheetrockers (and baristas, for that matter). Oh, and most construction work takes place during the week – not on nights or weekends. You may have to work for a big company and travel to where the work is, though.
