[quote=Anonymous]Most trade fields lead to a successful life, OP.

I have a friend who worked at Victoria's Secret while we were in college. By our senior year in college, she was made assistant manager and then about 5 months later, manager. She was thankful to have a decently paying job after graduation while she looked for a job in her chosen career field.

Except all of the entry level jobs she was finding in her field had starting pay lower than her VS manager salary. She decided to stay at VS and save money for a year before applying to grad school. Try to lower her loan burden. A year later, though, she was promoted to assistant regional manager and decided to stay with VS. She worked her way up to GM of the area stores and was making over $110k/yr.

She's now a GM of another brand and makes a very good salary.

College wasn't for my brother. He makes $100k+/year as a bartender.

My cousin dropped out of college and got a job as a lineman with Verizon. He makes around $80k. [/quote]
