[Brian22998]

I think everyone has to define his or her own goals. If making money is how you define 'moving up the ladder,' then education is not necessarily the way to get that. I know several women who work in the social services field (welfare caseworkers and children's court advocates) who have master's degrees and earn about $22,000 a year. I also know men and women who dropped out of high school to work in union factories and make more than $100,000 on the assembly line after overtime. The most educated people I've known have been my college professors, almost all of whom had PhD.s, and they probably make around $50,000, which is a lot less than a real estate developer I know who dropped out of school in eighth grade and is worth millions. As a rule, people with more education make more money, but that isn't always the case. There isn't a big demand for philosophy majors right now. You have to decide what you want to do and then do it.
