Military doesn't pay much but they basically GIVE you everything you need to survive so money you make is leisure money.
Long story short left military, found a girl, had kid before expected, couldn't find a job(no one cares about trait u pick up in military), decided,shit, I need some type of schooling. I'm a little like E36 in the fact I like to work with my hand so I choose auto collision. Painters can make 100k a year at the right body shop but you gotta bust your ass and the body shop has to have the work flow and on top of that you need years of xp in the field. Would I be content with that? Sure. Do I believe a college grad could do better in half the time with half the effort? That's a no brainer.
Point is there are graduates making $50-$75 an hour. Some even make salaries to where they don't even have to be at work to get paid. Imagine being in Croatia or some shit and spending a couple hours on your laptop and still getting paid what you would if you were in th office.
My biggest regret was NOT going to college. Not picking sides but that's the reality of life, you can definitely find happiness either way.
So E36 if your happy making $1500 a week with 140 hours a week, do you, fuck everyone else. Most people troll you because of how worked up you get, nothing more.
