College or work?

I think the only problem with going to work right after high school with no degree is that you can only go so far. I'll use myself as an example. After I got out of high school, I landed a job at a nice place at the bottom of the food chain. It wasn't bad money at all, much better than retail and fast food, though. After about seven months of being there, I got a promotion to another department. I ended up staying in that position for four years. I wasn't happy at all. All the other stuff I tried to apply for, they either wanted experience or education. I figured if they were like this then most other jobs would be like this.

I ended up leaving that job to go to school. Even though I'm in school now, I notice that people are willing to give me more money at whatever jobs I take because of education.

The choice is ultimately yours. If you want to work, that's perfectly fine. I just hope you don't hit the ceiling when trying to go up the ladder like I did. As my family says to me all the time, getting education removes the ceiling and the ladder becomes endless (to a degree).

Jam it back in, in the dark.
