Absolutely NO! You have to have”brain”,luck and imagination to succeed! 50 cent (the rapper) for example used to sell drugs,rob and now he is multimilionaire!!He didn’t even finished school! U feel me? I don’t mean go and rob, kill people and take their money and such bad things,but try to succeed by the easiest way!

Nowadays yes. I dont kno what you mean by “big degree” but there is four different types of degrees (generally, because there’s more depending on the career). There is (from lowest to highest) an associate’s degree (2 years), a bachelor’s degree (4 years), a master’s degree (5-7) years, and a doctorate’s degree(9-12 years). The higher your degree the better the pay. If you want to become a doctor for instance then you need to go to medical school and earn a medical doctor’s degree i can;t think of the name right now…For how life is now, I would recommend at least a certification on something after high school if you don’t plan to go to college…try to get more than a high school diploma…it’s only for the better! You could never go wrong with higher education! Also, don’t worry too much about finances because there is alot of help out there with grants, scholarships, and loans!

No, you do not need a degree to succeed. My husband has been putting up fences for 12-13 years now as a sub contractor working under another company. He gets side jobs also. He now has two companies fighting to get him working for their company. He is on commercials for one of the companies. This is a man who never graduated High-School or got a G.E.D. All you need is the urge to want to do your best at what you are talented to do. There are some who need to go to college for their talent, but being that it is their talent it won’t be hard to get the degree for that talent. One degree everyone can get and have the greatest success in is Business Management…..

It seems that you need a degree and if you are inclined to go further, then all the better.

I am in my 40’s and back in school for that reason. It seems that many jobs that I would like to apply for require a degree.
