'I didn't go to college, and I'm making six figures': People Over 30 Without Degrees Spill the Beans on How Life’s Going

You don't need a degree to succeed, but in many places, it certainly helps, especially in the beginning stages of a career. I should know, because I was about as stubborn about not getting a degree as one can get, and I began my journey at the ripe age of 24. 4 years later, along with a ton of student debt, I finally have my degree. Life is definitely a little easier, but I also think that it really depends on which path you're taking, and how hard you work to get there. My sister doesn't have a degree, and she's making way more money than I am, which basically proves my point. She's a self starter, and I need a little structure in my life, so I'm working at a company, while she's working independently. The numbers don't match, and she inspires me to maybe do that myself one day. In any case, below you'll find a relatable Reddit thread where people over 30 write how their life is going without a degree. Next, a comedic canvas splashed with classical art memes.
