I know it seems like you could earn good money without a formal education because as a full time student, you probably haven’t earned very much. But what’s good? 30 bucks US per hour? Can you even get that? Maybe doing hard labor.

It varies depending on where in the world you live to some extent. I live in Southern California, Orange County specifically. I have a wife and two at-home children. We live in an average house, drive average cars and spend virtually nothing on extravegances. My break even point every month is $6000. – not counting savings, investments or college for our children! This requires a six-figure income at a minimum because I only get to pay bills with my after-tax money.

If you can’t find your way into a field that’s going to pay that kind of money without a college education, then maybe you, and your friend, should rethink your lives.

Just trying to help. Peace back at ya.
