Question

Can poeple get a decent job with out a college degree?

Answer 1

It depends by what you mean as decent.

But college is important to get better chances of landing a better paying job. Companies are likely to hire someone with a degree over someone who doesn't.

That's one of the major reasons why college is recommended. If you could find a way to go to college, do so.

However, it doesn't mean that you can't attain success without a college degree (Richard Branson comes into mind - he was even a high school drop-out if I'm not mistaken). You usually just have to work much harder for it.

If ever you want to give college a shot but you don't think you have the means to pursue it, you may want to check out scholarships. This site may help you come to a decision:

Answer 4

Possible. Generally much more difficult, unless you have a specific skill (plumber, electrician, etc). The jobs I just mentioned, you might not start at the top, but by the time your peers get out of college, you'll be making good money. But without some specific skill, probably only if you're really, really lucky. (And please note, just because you have a college degree doesn't mean you'll get a decent job, either.)
