get a cool job

I obtained a degree, landed a very stressfull job with an awesome title(ego booster) and a very bad salary (26K). All my life I was told that a degree would make me rich right away. What happened to “get a degree and live the rich life?” I see people with no degrees that have jobs that pay almost as mine and they are always sitting just milking the clock, – stamp a paper and say next.Oh yeah and only 8-5 where I have to stay until the job gets done (12hrs). And the worst part is that if I screw up, I’m toast. I want a job where I can just talk to people, burn off the clock just sitting there, and have no resposibility even if I screw up. Oh, also one where I get a full 1 hr lunch and I’m out by 5pm. Also, a schedule from M-F 8-5. Saturdays and Sundays are mine and no stand-bys. Yes, I am willing to give up my fancy title for these luxuries.
Also, you do not need a degree to become rich, you already have a brain, all you need is capital/Money and passion for what you love to do.
