Ha Ha Yes HippieMama I agree.

Better yet MDs dont have to pass a drug test to treat people and they say 20% are drug addicts. But the dude bagging your groceries had to pass a drug test.

Would you know it coolbreeze, even fastfood workers need to pass a background check and take a drug test.. I guess they want to make sure our hamburgers are safe.

Great article. People with work experience can also get a degree based on that experience that helps get your foot in the door and also get more pay.

www.degree-direct.com gives a free evaluation to determine if your work experience can count as any credit.

Great hub you acn understand why some of them are highly paid such as the air traffic controller, but I thought a pilot may have earned more than some of the others above. Very interesting.

I fall into the Funeral Directors and Embalmer's category because I only needed the 2 year degree to do my job (but I went the extra mile and got my B.A. anyway).

It should also be noted that Funeral Directors and Embalmers do NOT need a degree in Colorado. Just a high school diploma ;)
