Even with your love for music, you had enough wits to get a degree. That shows that you have the intellect and the passion to do anything that you deem important Go for the music dude (your passion)and if it doesnt pan out you could still work in the industry helping others(your intellect)either way I think that you will be a success

A college degree doesn't "buy" you a job at a certain salary..but it does teach you how to learn and gives you a base from which to grow professionally.  So many positions doing wildly creative and fun things begin with having a college degree. And now with "no child left untested"... high school where much learning once occurred is falling behind the pace... and a college degree is even MORE important than before.\n\nAnd I must add a voice to the "4-year college" or other non-traditional route... There are MANY state colleges and universities that ARE affordable. If you have the grades - GO to a 4 year college away from home.  A college degree tells employers more than you can pass tests... and those things are most often not learned at community colleges, on-line colleges or living at home with mom and dad. \n\nSure - if your only option for school is to live at home... then DO IT !!! But, if you can - a state college or university is usually a lot of bang for your buck.   \n\nYou can't begin the university degree endeavor with the only goal to be earning potential. Getting a college degree is about much much more.  Of course you must be practical in degree choice and earning POTENTIAL, but in the end a 4 year degree is seldom regretted.

I am in school right now for this. I am getting an associates in Paralegal (2 years), but then I am transferring to a four year program. You can get a job with the two year, but most employers prefer the four year ones I think. Also, most employers prefer experience over education.

Get an entry-level job in the field and work your way up.  You can start doing something semi-related that doesn't require a degree, then once you're in, if the company has an education assistance program they will help pay for your degree granted you stay employed for so many years.  That's the best way to go, student loans are another option, but that's just borrowing money now that you'll have to pay back with interest later.

Depends on what type of work you get and where. Salaries are regional.  Check round Monster and www.salary.com and see.  Living in CT or Metro NY area I would expect a business degree from a reputable college and a person that is presentable and speaks well to get 35-40K. If your major is finance or accounting, it could go hirer.  All depends how you sell yourself.

Sorry but I have to agree with your folks. I worked in a technical recruiting firm for 6 years. Every employer wants a 4 year degree. You could go to the tech school but will have less of a chance at getting the better paying jobs, and more difficulty getting hired. Better to get the degree now than find out you need it after the tech school. Best of luck

Keep dreaming!  A job like that wouldn't pay jack squat if it even exists to begin with!!!\nTry eBay and be your own boss, if you even can think of that as a job...

do you have a degree to back this all up? with out the degree you wont get where you want or even deserve to be.\n\nIf you have your degree then go to a collage or training program and ask for the "job test" it is where you sit and answer a million questions, then they put your answers in the computer and the computer tells you where you would be good at. Then you can find a job in what your best at.\n\nif you dont have a degree, then consider school for another 4 years and get your degree, you should complete it fairly fast if you already know it all.\n\nGood luck.

A degree is practically essential. Most "professional" jobs require it.\n\nYou can substitute experience, to some degree, for education, but not as an equal exchange. 4 years of college is roughly equivalent to 10 years direct on-the-job experience in many fields, so your time is better spent earning that degree, whenever possible.
