^^^When I said the one in a miillon comment about being successful I didnt mean the everyday success of just anyone Im talking about making that BIG money. Owning your own corporation and making hundreds of thousands a dollars. Sure, there are plenty of people out there making decent paying jobs without college deducations and can provide fine for their families..and thats all fine and dandy.
MY POINT...was that Im tired of PEOPLE WHO ARE CURRENTLY NOT IN COLLEGE or DONT PLAN TO EVER RETURN TO COLLEGE since " college dropout " doesnt apply to you trivilaizing higer education like we gonna get out in the workforce and play ourselves when we dont make the money we want or expect when we get out. Like I said, I think all us college students are very aware of how the workforce and economy is right now, so your not telling us something we dont already know...but LIKE I SAID...unlike someone who doesnt have a degree..WE have sumthing to fall back on which leaves us OPTIONS. If we become laid off or unemployed for whatever reason...where as someone without an education becomes unemployed will have a harder time trying to become re-employed...So if us COLLEGE STUDENTS become unemployed not makin good money...what the hell non collegiates gonna make when they become unemployed and gotta start over? Im not knocking no one's decision not to go to college. College ISNT for everyone and thats understandable...It just bothers me when people act like college isnt all its cracked up to be as opposed to not going at all..Im not saying YOU feel this way, cause you said you plan to return, but I have heard too many people negatively talk bad about college cause " you dont make any money when we get out. "
But yea...just like u...i was just bringing up MY POINT.
juss 2 add my 2 cents...college is what u make of it...some people (but not most) can do w/o it and still make $$$ or the best of it cuz they worked hard and got a break early (some people try do this 2...but dont make it)...college does give options..just like MiSs_OeS said..and like Kool said some people only rely on the fact that they go 2 college..when in actuality..if all u do is graduate..but dont make valuable connections, dont do internships, and dont keep ur grades up (cuz its who u know AND what u know)...den u have a lesser chancee of goin newhere on that piece of paper alone...
& to answer the main topic question...i couldnt live paycheck to paycheck juss cuz i love my job..cuz i've seen how much harder it makes ur life..especially when u got kids & other aspirations...i'd rather live hating my job for some years to take care of myself & my family til i know every1 is aight..and i can pursue my other interests..besides, money is a powerful thing..u can direct all that cash u're makin to other interests while ur still young (better to work hard now..and have fun later)

This is an interesting question because I actually dealt with a similar situation with my summer job. The job paid well, I was working for the gov't, but I hated every minute of it. I had to get up early in the morning and do something that bored me to tears, and by the time i got off in the evening and got home my day was already over. So what did I do? I quit the job and took another position that paid a littlwe less but allowed me to do somethin I love, which is work with children. Money is important trust that I know this, shoppin is my favorite pasttime lol, but it isn't everything. I think my happiness and sanity is worth more than money can buy.
So if the job was somehtin I would be doing for the rest of my life I think I would have to go with the job that paid less but I loved it.

Cosigns to the fullest. My sanity in the long run is more important than money. I aint tryin to go to be grey-haired at 40!
