People are starting to question the value of a college education. I think as long as it teaches you how to think it's probably a good thing, but when it starts teaching you what to think its value drops off precipitously. Sadly, many of our college campuses are now doing just that.

My son, who doesn't have a college education, makes more than my wife, daughter and I ever did combined. We all have college degrees.

It was a club, i did it so you do it.

Do what?

My life was similiar to yours. I worked in government administering large organizations. And I worked my way from the ground up.

My trick was to learn the organizations budget then they had to keep you-lol. No one ever wanted to do the budgets. Then when someone left they looked around and I was the only one who knew the budget-lol.

Now I am in the private sector.
