I have no degree, I chose the Navy out of high school. No regrets, though I agree I would have more options had I gotten a degree. I've worked my way into a decent position with my company over the last 18 years. I started at the bottom, moved up, and am now moving back down slowly since the economy has tanked. At least I have experience with all aspects of the company, so I can stay here and ride out the storms.......I hope.
