"Recent graduates usually start out at 120 - 160% of the minimum wage so you'll earn more than most plumbers right out of college." numbers are not correct because plumbers make much than 140% of the minimum wage.
Sounds like a personal problem. If I had a 2 year degree, I'd hang out with people who had a 4 year degree. If I had a four year degree I'd hang out with Phd's. Frankly, if I'm the smartest guy in the room - I leave.
Who knows. Most of us want the most what we don't/can't have--- money, love, sex, education-whatever- having one of the fattest house in Miami and the largest boat doesn't bring satisfaction. surf
