not going to college has made life difficult. I've been pretty lucky and eventualy ended up as a database administrator making 70K (and that was low for what I was doing, but I liked the place). Only trouble is, my company was bought and dismantled, I'm now out of a job, and my skills are on a platform that is considered to be going obsolete. With no degree, I've been trying to find a job for 5 months now. Back when the economy was good, this would not have been quite so hard, but it's a buyer's (or hire'rs) market now, and they can afford to be picky.
Get the degree.
