I’ve never been to college. That’s not something I’m necessarily proud of, but neither am I ashamed. My lack of sheepskin does disqualify me from any decent government job, and that’s not a bad thing. But, I can say that I’ve never been turned down for a job and I’ve never been unemployed.

Actually, not having a degree can prevent many jobs. You mention the government, including being a commissioned officer in the military, and many employers will not hire for managerial positions without a degree.

I don't like it and I think it's garbage, but it is a fact; many employers still insist on a degree to advance beyond a mid-manager level.

We’re all Free Agents. I firmly believe that everyone has a natural skill set and is suitable to do something that they either like doing, or can at least stand to do for 8 hours or more a day.

However, if someone is willing to pay you to do something you love to do anyway, then you’re golden. :)

And as my Dad always says, “Some people are here simply to serve as horrible examples to others.” :)
