Yea, sounds about right

Nowhere. He's just being a condescending jackass.

Yes I was being a jackass, it's a skill, really. Also! 50-70K a year isn't something a newbie gets paid for IT, it's what you get paid for being a High Voltage Lineman, a job where there is far more work than men able to do it. The time and a half and double time pay come in pretty quick, especially when you're traveling hundreds of miles in order to repair some storm damage. The way I see it, an Associate's Degree is nothing I'm ashamed of, for someone like me it's the easiest and most logical choice. I'm a simple man who wants a simple life and I'm not even sure what I'll do with 70k a year. And the liberal arts comment was a jab at someone overpaying for a Degree that most likely won't get them a job even when they're trying so hard to make it through college. Currently I'm making more money than I can handle, barely 20 and interning with awesome people at an awesome job, with, really, just one year spent in an actual college setting. Which is still time spent on earning a Class A CDL, and making enough money to pay off all my college debt before I've even begun my nearly guaranteed job.
