THE MONETARY WORTH OF YOUR COLLEGE DEGREE

Some of my listeners just can't stand it when I get into my "choices have consequences" mode. So many people just don't want to believe that they are right where they are, economically, socially and in terms of their health, principally because of the cumulative effect of the choices that they have made in their lives.
Some of the most important choices you will make involve education. In the early years it's whether or not you're even going to go to school, and if you do go whether or not you're going to actually apply yourself. Later on you will have to decide if you are going to continue to college ... and what your major will be. CNN has published a survey showing starting salaries for college graduates with various four-year degrees.

I would think this is obvious. What does go unmentioned is that you only go around once. I would not trade my major and college experience for all the tea in China. And would rather scrubb toilets than get an accounting degree. (Not that there is anything wrong with an accounting degree.)
Worried about your personal economics? Open a junkyard. Seeking social status? You'll get further by marrying the right girl.. Health?? Watch that stress in the high paying professional world..
Do what you love and love what you do - that may get you a rusty 924 or a stable full of cup cars - but you will live a happier life and go to your maker with less excuses..
