Part time work is good when independently wealthy to ‘keep in touch with the common man’, laugh at his problems.

My best part time coworkers were always independently wealthy.

They actually worked and showed up on time. Would pitch in even when they could have legitimately stood around the water cooler.

As assholish as this comment is, it’s mostly true.

You are going to have a difficult time taking care of anyone if you are broke. College doesn’t make you non broke, student loans can kill your income.

If I were you, I would hustle into some type of commercial or industrial construction or clean up. Those companies often will pay for you to go to college if you go into the right degree like engineering. In the meantime, you can be making 60,000 starting out.

The most lucrative 4 year degree is a major in Business.

It is also one of the easiest degrees to get, with a fair portion of the exams being open book tests.

If you carry it on to a post graduate degree it becomes even more lucrative, all but assuring you an officer position in a medium to publicly traded firm.

Btw if you wait till you're 25 working in a modest job without breaking over 40k/year then get yourself fired/laid off, you can apply for fafsa and pretty much get a free ride thru college

Business and communications seemed to be a catch-all back when I was in school.

School was a waste of time for me. I found the challenge of getting into one of the most competitive schools on the west coast really exciting and fullfilling, but once I started, the pure amount of time and money that was wasted was enough to make me drop out.

I see guys that are running cranes and driving trucks making more than lawyers, dentists, engineers and doing that without any student loans. One of my clients has his own trucking authority and profits over half a million a year. His wife runs an in home adult family care program and makes over a hundred thousand doing that. They are from Southeast Asia and neither of them have degrees. They just hustle every day and have made a good living over the past 30 years.

Don't ask your dentist about your car, nor your mechanic about your teeth.
