How are you Monetizing using your Degree or Certificates
#12
UptonSinclair Wrote:Ironically, the degree I am pursing will never make me as much money as I make in my current job. I am a union electrician pursing either a history or sociology degree. Education is about more than the pay for me. One day I hope to attend graduate school abroad. The thought of doing electrical work for the next 20 years is horrifying.

I didn't get the degrees I got to make a lot of money; I just got them so that I wouldn't be living paycheck to paycheck. If I could get a job just teaching history, I will be making a lot more money than I make now. I tried to get an associate's in computer science a few years ago, but found programming to boring and tedious. I probably would have had a much better paying job by now, but I wouldn't have been happy.
