Forget Uni. Become a truck Driver. The age to drive an artic is now 18. It should cost you no more than £2 to get your licence. The transport industry is screaming out for young people.

You have just spent the past four years paying tuition, room and board, books, food, utilities, transportation, etc. The worst part is that it is all getting more and more expensive beyond peoples’ expectations.

The business field is full of many intelligent people and many people would like to work certain jobs but it's the piece of paper that limits many people. Luckily I have also not gone in debt getting this paper. I have not yet completed college but I know that my degree will help me out in the field I’m getting into simply due to the competition.

I was wondering how you all make that decision! Interestingly enough, I have an article coming in the next month or so on the effects of overtime on health. Some new studies are coming out! @ Stephanie -- If I found myself in the same situation... I guess there would be no downside to go for the extra $12,000 in debt! Being that the bachelors degree you are getting is under the radar, does that mean there will also be opportunities for you when you graduate? Or is there also lack of demand? @ Paul -- What kind of internet business? Selling goods or advertising model? What do you mean by saying "it will be useful to be ahead?" If you are saying what I think you are saying... "ahead" is a pretty relative term! :) @ Thomas -- What drove you to work in a field in a different area than what you got a degree in? Was it the money, the satisfaction, or other? I 100% agree that we, as a country, need to invest more in trade schools, though.

However, I'm not in my degree field, nor did I get a ridiculous degree in a low marketable skill. Our country needs more investment in trade schools. My degrees definitely paid off.

I can see if someone is only making $10 an hour this can be somewhat pointless. If you are making 30-60k/year then it will be useful to be ahead.
