I think it entirely depends on the person. I know people who have a BA and have made a nice living outside their original field of study. I also know people who have doctorates and are still scraping by.
Have you looked at the technical degrees at your local community college? If you're wanting to do something else that may be a great place to start. I have a friend who has recently gone back for a dental assisting certificate and is really happy with it.
I'm just not feeling the day... anyone having one of those?
It's supposed to be 94F and humid. I think we're staying inside and having a lazy day. That means reading and leftovers.
I read Katherine of Aragon, The True Queen by Alison Weir last week. I loved it and totally cried at the end. Because I'm sappy that way.
I'm following it up by reading The Lady in the Tower: The Fall of Anne Boleyn.
My husband is handier than I, but I still take part in projects and have projects of my own. For some things we HAVE TO hire out (ie electrical and plumbing). My current projects are in the gardens.
