Ill say 5-6 out of 10 jobs people know someone inside the organization. What I meant was that there are labor jobs out there that you can make more money then people with degree's. Let me give you an example I have a friend that drives a coal truck all day with no degree and makes more money then me, and Im a Engineer. I have another friend that works at a powerplant doing nothing but pushing a button with a degree (that he doesnt use) and makes more then me .His degree had nothing to do with his current job, all they wanted was a high school diploma and knowledge of basic electricity. You have to look at the careers that last and with good pay. The federal costs of living across the states raises over 2% every year. Not saying a degree isnt benefical, just that if you go for a degree make sure thats the major and career you want to get into too.
