I've got a sister who's a MSW, she waits tables at a place called the "Haunted Hamburger."
I've got a sister who's got a BS degree in "Landscape Engineering," she bakes bread for a living.
I've got a sister who's got a BS in Geology and was recently making serious cheddar but the mine closed, so she decided to have a baby and is is out for the duration.
I've got a brother who's a welder, owns some cows, and fancies himself a rancher in progress.
Finally, I've got a brother who thinks that education is something the "man" uses to keep you down.
As for me? Associates degree in business, bachelors degree in general studies in another 18 credits (been doing it in my 'spare' time) and the only one of the lot to have a long-term career, I've been doing computers for 18+ years now. From my experience, the degree doesn't do much but get you in the door for the interview in IT...90% of what I know by heart came from doing it and being a nerd, the other 10% can be determined via Google.
