Whenever you come across odd grammar through spell check, try to reword the sentence…it’s not worth stressing out about spell check’s suggestions. Here’s a revision worth noting 🙂

1. Leaving my job was to pursue a higher quality of life, yet I still needed money to pay bills. In the end, my motivation was driven by intangible measures, not by money.

2. I have a clear understanding of the value of a degree, and first-hand knowledge of not having one.

The first one makes sense with the semi-colon i would say…

The second… i would put “I have a first hand understanding of the value (or lack of) a degree.”

Hmmm, just a suggestion :L
