I got a BS in Electrical/Computer Engineering from a UC... Got a job right out of college as engineer, and still at this same job now. Got to travel (for work) and see the world. Pay is ok. I can afford some toys. I have no regrets, in fact I consider myself lucky to be able to make good money and travel right out of college.

Having said that tho... I will be honest and say this is not at all where I want to be in the next 2 years and rest of my life. Not this job. Not this field. I will also NEVER go for higher learning degrees (MS, MBA, etc.)...waste of time and money for what I want to do in the future.

But to answer your question, I think you should stay in school and get a degree. Then go from there.

 

yep my parents tried to guilt me to get an MS for the last 3 years. I finally said "NO, I will not!" ... They were sad for a bit, but got over it. It's my life. I figured if I had a plan and good reason not to (and I did, sorta haha), they would understand. I think they are starting to come around and support my decision.

 

MS in what?

 

I say just drop out. One less person for me to compete against.

Either way, from your posts I can already tell you will not be a millionaire from work itself.
