I think a better statement is that it hinders future career advancement. However, you make a valid pointg with the schooling. And I sleep. | ||

I traveled the world for three years and sat at home doing nothing for one year after that. I had less than a year of job experience. It took me one month of looking to find a job and I start tomorrow. But I'm a software engineer. The hardest part of getting a job is getting an interview. If you are smart and you can get an interview then you'll be fine. | ||

Still, it's certainly not going to bring you up to average salary depicted in this graph. Some people with undergrad degrees make a ton, some use their degree to do something less impressive, or unrelated to their major, in the case of most art history majors. My point was is I'm going to college, things will work out at least reasonably well. | ||

If you are smart and you can get an interview then you'll be fine. I think we were mostly talking about like 5-10 years. I think you're right though. If you are doing software engineering or something that is highly in demand, they'll take you. But something like econ which is more experience oriented you might have a tough time. | ||

Again, it's just about being proactive | ||
