Kim:

I have a job that I enjoy, has little or no stress, and has great pay and
benefits. Had I taken an entry-level job in Human Resources, I'd be making
about a third less money, have no job security whatsoever, and I'd most
likely be under the thumb of some menopausal nightmare of a YL boss.
I got a degree in HR because that program gave me the most bang for the
buck in transfer credit, and I wanted to have a B.S. in something - anything.
The fact that I no longer desire to sit in a cubicle all day doesn't mean that
I haven't gained anything by obtaining a college education. BTW -- do
YOU have a college degree? What was YOUR major?

Yeah, I always like how your job description ends up sounding like a
defense...LOL

No, I don't have a college degree, Larry. I didn't have the money to waste.
I also didn't have the time to waste. I wanted to do too many things, so I
set out to do them. And, I've accomplished most of them.

With or without that college degree I now earn quite a healthy living, with
a lot more room to grow. So, you wasted your time, in my opinion, and I did
not, in my opinion.

What is your chosen occupation? Sounds like you've found your niche.
I'm still looking for mine.
