Vehicle Dynamics Engineer, great money, but with the education I have I could be making a LOT more had I played my cards right. BS, and two MS degrees. Should have just been something in the medical field, the wife makes more than I do with less education, but her MS has the word anesthesiology in it....
College was a no brainer, University of Michigan since it was right up the road.
We got a late late start on our careers because of mistakes made earlier in life, don't make the same mistakes we did...over 30 now and if we had been doing this when I was 22....well lets just say it'd be better, and I have something better than a 92' Four Winns
Nobody should tell you not to do what you love, but I firmly believe people that tell you college is a waste are NOT looking out for your best interest. It's not necessarily the schooling that will make your career, but the other lessons you learn there that are invaluable, the contacts you make, the friendships you form.

You are right if I loved my job and made say 15k a year or less a year because of it I would take that. But you will not be happy working for pennies and struggling through life guarenteed. Now its all relevant too like you said, if you make 30k a year and rent an apartment and drive used cars and dont go out much or have much, but are content in life yeah go that route by all means.
