I graduated from high school and have less than two years of junior college. I also make low six figures in US dollars.
Allow me to congratulate you while the greedy, envious masses get their pitchforks.
Easy now, fellas - let's not do anything rash.... (Backs away, looking for a pointy stick)
I'm on your side, remember?

It is also true that having a University degree doesn't guarantee a job and decent salary. Most of my friends who have graduated are either working in the service industry or unemployed. My mother has an MA in nutrition and is an RD, and she can't find a job right now. So much for pulling yourself up by your bootstraps...
Yes, unfortunately that is also true. I have been fortunate to keep the same job for over 12 years. Many of my friends have not been so fortunate.
Unfortunately, in times such as these, many suffer, no matter their education level.
