You will probably need to get a degree, no matter what your future plans are. I would just figure out the type of company you want to work at, then make a five year plan to get there. At 23, five years can seem like an eternity but 28 is practically the same age, in the eyes of society.

Well, I'd probably get a degree by the time I'm 30 if I start now because I'd do it part time. Still, get your point

I've been having a mental breakdown about this for weeks, what degree, if a degree, etc... Man, had I known I'd be in this position in life some years ago, when I was 16, I would've... I don't know, I would've just done something else in life...

Thank you nonetheless.
