    I’ve always worked for small companies and moved to a big company a year ago, and I feel like I AM living the dream. Hard capped 40 hour weeks, 35 days vacation, plenty of perks like an on-site gym and free car charging. I didn’t think that things like this could exist in the IT world. Unions really make a huge difference.

    Family pushed college as the only possible way for me to lead a happy life and make money.

    The kids from my high school who went into the oil fields are making double my salary.

      I don’t think there’s ever going to be a case for “less education is better,” but I also don’t think more education necessarily leads to higher salaries. It often does, but those are two different conversations in by book.
