Do you make more money than a college graduate?

[oompaloompa]

alot/most young people are college graduates nowadays in UK anyway, depends what calibre subject, what college and what grade you got.....not enough graduate jobs out there anyway....they are waiting tables and working regular low grade jobs in shops while they wait for years to find a job, or go up through management where they are....

I will be advising my kids, when they are alot older, to graduate, work for a few years to get some business sense and street /work/social sense, and then I will buy them a business or give them the money to start one....I already have the money ear-marked in their own named accounts now......

What's wrong with $100 weekly? Some people make less, others make more. I'm sure you'd prefer to take $100 weekly working from home than $100 weekly working at Mcdonalds.

I created 10 accounts. The last account hit 90 days old on Christmas eve. I'm already netting over a thousand a week which would put me over 52,000 a year. The problem I have is there isn't enough time in a day to do what I need to do to keep growing. I made the mistake of doing 30 day listings. You have to start with good to cancel or you waist all your time relisting. The big dollar items I have in bulk I set on 7 day listings to keep them moving. But switching ips and relisting them takes too much time. I have to figure out how to better automate this thing some how. The sky is the limit. Time is the factor...

My husband is a high school dropout but makes as much as a college graduate. Even though a degree does not promise you a decent salary, knowledge and the college life experience is still yours to keep for life. So I'm totally in for high education.

I am making $0 currently but I plan on surpassing a college graduate in about a year. I think it is very doable in my country as the average income for someone that is a college graduate is around 1000 EUR a month (~1200 USD).
I just need to find the right niche then I'm going to start.

My husband is providing a service offline. Online advertising contributed to a very big part of the business.

ive tried for 2 years with some luck but i always end up not making money :(

Some years I make more and less. As long as I can keep the lights on and not take on any debt I will continue to sell online full time. When I graduated college I took a job and had to commute a couple hours each day it just wore me out. To live in that city costs and arm and leg even more than where I am at now that only costs an arm and half a leg. So I went back to selling online full time.

As long as I can keep this going I enjoy the freedom the most. Plus I am not one for office or company politics.

That commute of few hours is insane - I deal with an hour or so in the evening and 20 min in the morning (because I leave for the gym way too early before work). Friday during a snowstorm, the drive in the evening took about 2h 15 min

I share your feelings about office work. I've been working for 17 years and I'm sick of all the crap. This year I plan to leave my perfectly good full time job to make my own money online. Any advice?
