And for the record, I'm a salary/commission paid employee at my day job. I was told that the average pay for my position would be 40k in the first year and 50k average of all the employees and I already passed both of those marks in less than a year. And no, you don't need a college degree to get rich. The richest man in the world doesn't even have a degree.
Gates is an exception to the rule...most people who "don't have a degree" didn't willingly drop out of Harvard.
