A buddy of mine has a criminal justice degree and had alot of volunteer time with a local game and fish warden. He's still working for the same ski boat dealer that he worked for while in college... 14 years later. I dont have a college degree, and make more than many of my friends who do, I am that guy who does love his job, I'm not sitting around at 9 pm sunday saying "damn I don't want to go to work tomorrow". Hasn't always been this way and I have made way more that I make now, but there is definitely something to be said for being able to love what you do. Sorry for the rambling, good luck.
