I was doing food service for a little while then I decided to be a vip. I have business cards and a LinkedIn profile so I’m legit.

IT professional of 22+ years, working IT at a Big Ten University.

I'm guessing by college you mean university. If that's the case then my current profession is nadda. I'm unemployed.

I’m a retired Systems Analyst. Dabbled in Unix system administration for a while. No college at all. Made over 6 figures. My past employer sent me to Sun Microsystems for Unix admin training

Manager, Learning Design. I lead a team of 15 Instructional Designers and Subject Matter Experts designing and building nationally recognised qualifications.

I think about my lack of university degree every single day. One day I'll own one.

I operate my own businesses, comfortably all before hitting 30.

Union Construction PileDriver 8 years in , 6 figure career and no debt .

Got into the real estate profession 17 years ago when I was 19. No complaints. No debt. My wife is a school teacher and brings in about half of what I make and is still sitting on a mountain of student debt :/

I have a specialist position with a CU. I did have to start at the lowest step and work up but it’s all about learning.

Nothing exciting or super high paying. I’m an admin assistant. But I love what I do, and I got hired based on experience instead of degrees.

We have another school system so it may not be quite comparable, at 16 (9grade) I left school with one of the lowest degrees and started as an apprentice with three and a half years of training.

Now I am a System planner, designer, draftsman combined with other activities such as process optimization and surveillance, programming of welding robots, doing orders and some times I help out in the workshop if we have to make a dead line.

At some point next year probably also department head.

Started as some kind of plumber (has several professions united in it, heating construction, air conditioning systems, ventilation, plumbing, a bit electric as well), then worked as metalworker\pipe fitter, and welder and now this and I have to say that office work is pleasant but I don't understand what my predecessor did all day, he had half my workload and still I have time over that I usually invest in automating stuff or more quality, so even less work to do if I do that longer.

I went for two years, finished a lot of college. But I felt I was done with it. I am now working for the government and made a career. Go to college but go for something that you can always fall back on. There's no problems of doing a trade like computer maintenance. Welding. Something to really just have as a back up plan. Be nuanced about your major. Don't just believe that your major is gonna save your ass.

I've seen 18 year olds literally go out there in the world and do 4 years for something that doesn't fucking matter.
