[quote=Anonymous]If you define things by money, far-and-away the most successful people I know without advanced degrees are in finance. My cousin is early 30s and a partner in a hedge-fund with a state school degree (so no Ivy connection and no MBA). While I don't know exact figures, I do know he makes a ridiculous amount of money. Next is sales in almost any field. Then tech (can do better than sales, but less consistent). I know people who do quite well in tech with a HS degree and even a couple with GEDs. These guys are very smart, BTW, they just didn't get a lot of formal schooling. Next is government contracting with a bachelors. But this is all about money and not about other metrics of success. My kids' nanny is mid-20s, some community college, same FT job with consistent raises and bonuses for 4 years, an adoptive parent, and owns her own home. That's more successful than I was at her age on all fronts.[/quote]
