i am a college drop out because of a situation similar to yours...

there are only a few people from my circle of friends that have salaries that surpass mine. however, since i don't have a degree there are certain ceilings that i have learned i have to accept, such as becoming a vice president, since most positions require an MBA at least.

if you can, take the job, and continue to school either via correspondence program or on line. If you can fit it into your schedule, take ONE course a semester. It may seem like it's going to be forever until you get your degree, but it's more than not going at all.

Every year, I hem an haw about returning back to school. Earlier in the year, I finally took an online course for Project Management, and hopefully I will take more courses in the future. But it's at least a start after 13 years of not going to school.

35,000 sounds like a lot of money....it's almost the media income of a US Household (43,000 according to census records) Think about what lifestyle you want to live ultimately. If you want you wife to stay home and raise a family, or own a certain car, have a certain size home, travel, etc.
