And google hardly ever hires anyone w/o a degree...so it can be done, but it's a harder road/path.
At 21, you're still young and you still have alot of time to figure out what you want to do, but you should have at least a 5 year plan. Where do you see yourself and where do you want to be. Once that's set, don't let anything stop you. Life is a challenge and it'll throw obstacles at you from time to time. the key is to keep your eye on the prize and fight on.
I personally like the military. I never joined, but came close once right before 9/11. It gives you discipline, direction and responsiblility. Teaches you not to be lazy and go out there and get what you want. Plus you get to shoot guns! lol 3 years of your life is nothing in the grand scheme of things. While your friends are out partying or whatever, you'll be learning something that you can take with you for life...

Well right now I work full time and make a pretty good paycheck I have like 30k in my savings. Me and my wife own our condo we both have 2 cars that are paid off (e92 me and e92 for her) in 5 years I want to be set in a career I love and hopefully have a house. I'm really interested in car but I don't want to work on them, I want a job with motor trend or something like that I'm giving myself till im 23 to know exactly what I want to do. By this I mean a job I love, not just a jobs where you make good money. I don't want to work a job that pays well but I'm miserable.
