You also don't have to pay $50k to get a 4 year degree. Mine cost about $12k at a state school, after scholarships.
And yes, you do need a degree to get into most office and IT work. My job could be done by someone with no degree, but HR won't even look at your resume without one. Just like anyone who passed 4th grade can teach 3rd grade, but good luck getting hired without a degree.
And if you had ever worked as a waiter you'd know that the money you make has very, very little to do with how well you work. The biggest factor by far is how busy the restaurant is and how many tables the management lets you take at a time.
But no, only teachers are martyrs and the rest of us just sit back and get fanned by slaves with grape leaves while making a million dollars an hour to eat ice cream.
