Yeah, my situation is that I took a couple years off school and got a decent job.. It's a dead end though, going to school and whatnot get that degree and experience from my current gig should set me up for some decent opprtunities.The important thing find something you are passionate about and just start going to interviews, when you find a good company they will hire you regardless of your education when you claim you have done it as a hobbyist for 5 or 10 years etc and that this is exactly what you want to do with your life, tell them you are looking for a career and not just a job. Tell them you will live, eat, and breathe <company name> and make them a good offer. Since I got a good job and started going back to school on their dime I am having a good time at school an getting paid good, it is my belief you should get a job and start your career before you even really start to take college seriously, a job at a good company comes before college not vice versa.
Hmm i work in the medical field and been in college for some years now and still got a good amount of years to go. I can tell you this much if you wanna be the janitor cleaning up people's shit and puke in a hospital. Or a patient transporter making 8-9$ a hour sure go right ahead apply with out a degree . But if you wanna make some decent money were you can auctually support a family and a relatively luxery lifestyle go to college. Medical certifications/degree dont take as long as people think. Unless your going to get ur M.D or trying to became a R.N, P.A. Then your in for a fun experiencesome healthcare jobs you don't necessarily need a degree. .
Yeah, this is true lots of people will still hire you(IT and shit, I know a a few people good with computers who got their foot in the door) but like for example a person I know(not saying what the relationship is, weed site after all) works at an Enterprise location and they wont let 'em work full time AND they dont give raises beyond the $10 per hour starting wage without a degree.A lot of places say you need a degree, only some of them actually check it out, most of them will hire u regardless if you do good at the interview, doesnt hurt to try, I have gotten a lot of good jobs that "require" a degree without one, you walk in there on the interview different scenario, really it seems like only the shitty companies that actually check lol
some healthcare jobs and IT type jobs you don't necessarily need a degree. The IT jobs pay the best of the two.
haha yeah I know what you mean, I am talking about like being a biller, office worker, or working at a place that makes medical equipment...not actually direct patient care or working in a hospital but yeah your right about that its like 14$ an hour max without a degree in the medical field as far as working in a clinical setting for sure.Hmm i work in the medical field and been in college for some years now and still got a good amount of years to go.
