ABC 20/20: Bachelors Degrees May Not Be Worth the Money???

[Lindagerr]

I have worked in the chemical field for over 30 years now. I have a good work record staying with most of my employers at least 6 years. If I go out to find a job now I have a problem, most of the jobs I am qualified for require at least a bachelors degree. I can not even get my resume looked at, now that I have my AA I can get in a few more doors, but then I have a problem because I am too qualified for the entry level jobs because of my experience.

So in my case I think if I has that little piece of paper 30 years ago I could be making 6 figures now, but because I didn't I may never get up to 6 figures.

I know a girl my daughters age (mid thirties) who was a gifted A student all through school, went to a good college earned her BS degree in psychology, I don't know what she planned to do with it, but she is still working as a waitress in the same place she started when she was 16. I don't think she is ever going to earn her $1 mil.
