Talking to relatives who can't find jobs, "How many jobs did you apply for today?" and the reply is inevitably "well, none".

How are you expecting to find a job when you don't apply? I applied for five to ten jobs a day when I got out of trade school. I was unemployed so I certainly had the time. It took almost six months to get someone to take a chance on me.

The trick to getting a good job without a degree is to get someone, anyone, to take a chance on you. You will be underpaid until you prove yourself but it will cost you less than a degree in the long run.
