    I was academically dismissed from college four time and have a university studies degree and a 2.0 GPA. I now have a 6 figure salary. You degree is only a peace of paper, don’t sacrifice your heath for a peace of paper.

      As a counterpoint, your salary is mainly a reflection on how much profit can be made by your skillset/location at a given point in time. I’m not a fan of tying people’s worth to their profitability. It’s devoid of any type of ethical concern.

      If we as a society tie profitability to societal good, then I’ll be on board.

        I am right there with you, and went through a lot to get to this point. Also my salary is more a supply vs demand issue, I am a cost to companies but they need me.
