They were accustomed to the mindset of having an employer that would have you for 35 years until retirement.<BR/><BR/>Todays world has changed and while a college education or higher education for that matter may help, todays world is no guarantee for those with a college degree. <BR/><BR/>At 21, without a college degree, I made over $90,000. Every year since, I have been in the $100,000 to $200,000 income bracket. I don't consider myself special however, a little common sense, and a passion for what you do goes a long way! *Being learning based is also essential to anyone who wants to succeed. (I mean schooling and education did not stop for me at any time. I have always read books, attended seminars, etc...) If you love what you do, you will always want to stay on top of your game!Carlo Gobbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05458117055038029626noreply@blogger.com
