can you give examples of good paying jobs that don't require degrees? because I would like to check it out.

you can be a crabber or work at a processing plant up in alaska [you make BANK in a very short amount of time - the trade is it's dangerous, the hours are long, and you're only there to work].
peddle drugs, do construction, make cookies, be a dj. teach yourself something and be the best at it. i'm a welder, which is something you don't need a diploma in because your work is indicative of what you know [though certification helps] - and welders can make some serious bank. but yeah, college is not only the route to society's definition of "success" - explore your options man!
just ask yourself what you enjoy doing the most and odds are there's a job you can do in that [ehh probably except for drugs, and sex...but the rest is wide open]

I am planning on taking a test so I can get my A+ certification so I can build/fix computers at Fry's or Best Buy...that would be neat if that payed enough to live off of. I live in socal...and rent is kind of ridiculous around here.
