Obviously you do not have a college degree. I spent four years working three jobs to pay for my degree. I graduated poor, but I did not have one outstanding debt or loan, yet you make such a broad statement that I did not pay my dues!!!!
Do the deed and then tell us how easy it is.

Correct, I do not have a college degree. I was working for my uncle, Sam paying dues of a different flavor during my college years.

I should have been more specific and I apologize.
A lot of folks were, and are, in your situation with regard to paying college tuition. I take that as a given for most, non independently wealthy folks.
By "paying your dues" I meant in the specific field you were educated in such as starting in the mail room, interning, etc (which a lot of companies make folks do, even if they have a degree). A lot of college grads today graduate with the notion that they are going to land a six-figure salary, just because they earned a degree. Using engineering as an example, earning a degree in engineering does not make one an engineer. It is only the first step on the path to a career in engineering.
