You should definitely go for it. The upside of having worked on the field is that if you ever decide to go the theoretical route (say from technician to engineer), your practical background will give you a better appreciation for the stuff you're studying.Originally Posted by three6mafia
I lucked out and got into ford motor company about a year or so after I graduated via my family connection. Both my uncles and dad been there for 30+ years each. I'm a human robot(assembly line). Been laid off a few times but I recently(last week) just got the call to come back.
Me and 2 friends share a house.
Last year I made 43k and some change.
No certificates. But I'm thinking about learning a trade.

I went to the JC and it just wasn't for me, not to mention I was doing everything on my own. I decided to take a job opportunity and moved forward with that. Went from retail to banking to the wine industry. I started off on the very bottom at a winery when I turned 21. I worked my way up to Manager in 2yrs. I'am going on my 5th year this august and been manager for 3 of those yrs. Pay has definitely increased.
1-2 yrs - 35k when I started
3-5yrs 55k+
During my retail job I escalated to Manager within 1yr. When I was a banker I got promoted twice. I learned a lot about myself when handling different scenarios in different types of companies. I hated the retail hours, and I hated the very quiet, linear environment of a bank. A winery is a great balance of everything I like to do. I love meeting people (we get people from all over the world), I enjoy sales and I like the freedom of being able to spend as much time as necessary wherever I want anytime with anyone. I can do a 2hr long private tasting, or host a 1hr long bachelorette party and ACTUALLY have fun. It sucked working up the ladder, but now it's worth it.# ImDaBAws

Relocated to Europe... still doing IT contracting making about 100K (still 92k is tax free). Job security is getting worse as an IT contractor but I'm happy to have had a succesful career thus far with no college.
I'm the only one in my family that went the military route instead of college and I'm the one who has earned the most so far. My siblings all have degrees and struggle to find work and make ends meet. That said, I realize things can change at any moment. Whenever I'm looking for a job I'm always worried nothing will come through since I don't have a degree. I rely heavily on my 12+ years of job experience... I have a good resume since I've worked for major companies.
I do want to go back to school and finish a degree, but whenever I start taking classes I just hate having to memorize a bunch of information I feel is completely useless. I like learning exactly what I need to know to do what I need to do. I don't need all that "filler" information and I definitely don't want to pay for it.

That's cool. I'm in the process of enlisting in the Air Force for IT. Any suggestions/tips?

Most of the IT AFSC's have been merged so I don't know exactly how the IT jobs in the AF are structured now. The merging of career fields could be a good thing because when I was in as a network technician that is all I was really allowed to work on. But if the merge allows you to get experience with routers and switching along with servers, satelittes, and long range circuits that will be beneficial. I'm assuming you're in contact with a a recruiter, do you have a guaranteed IT job? If not, don't just enlist in "open general" because you'll likely end up on the flightline or as security forces.
