No College Degree Needed For These High Paying Jobs In Tyler, Texas
As a child growing up in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex like many others in East Texas, we all have dreams. Dreams of becoming famous and making a lot of money. Some kids may dream of making it big in the music business, maybe as a movie star, or becoming the owner of a multi-billion dollar company, and sit back and watch the money roll into the bank account.
As we get older we realize those dreams are just childhood dreams and it takes a lot of work to make it and money doesn't come easy.
We often hear that having a college degree helps you with your salary and that receiving a higher education is important. While I do not disagree with that statement, there is also something to be said for those who enter the job market fresh out of high school and begin to gain real-world experience.
I think back to my college days and the great Kidd Kraddick who came to speak to our Radio/TV class once at UT Arlington. He commended us for going to college and earning a degree, but said, 'While we're in school there is someone else on the air right now getting real-world experience for their resume'. A statement that made me think, yes, that is true, but I'm banking on the degree to help my income!
