Actually the job I have now and make over 80k a year does not require a college degree (I dropped out of college and still don't have one) and honestly I could have easily been doing it right out of high school too as I already had the know how for it. Its definitely possible.

Hell I introduced a friend of mine who now probably makes more money than I do and he started at the company when he was 19 (I was 21-22 when I started 26 now).

Good stuff Joe, no worries about anyone looking down on you. It's your parents right to give whatever gift they want

. Enjoy and be safe

has little to do with money management and a lot to do with the fact that an 18 year old has zero experience, zero education, and zero maturity to get a job that pays decently. Unless of course someone gets you the job...id also call that help

If you go towards the 20-21 side of that range, you do get experience, education, and maturity.

How many 20 year olds do you know that have finished a bachelors degree and finished a couple years field experience? Or that aren't drinking their livers into oblivion for that matter.

Not saying there are many, but there are a few out there. Don't need to have your bachelor's degree to have some education. Internships don't require a completed degree and give you field experience. Some internships, like engineering ones, pay relatively well.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

22 turning 23 soon with a double major undergraduate in biology/psychology and entering grad school next semester with 4 years experience in a job not a career but a job that pays enough for a 40k car brand new and lives comfortably , not crazy, comfortably with out fears of a financial crisis. I have no help or favors had.

There IS a break between 18-20 and 20+ on experience and education , yes, but don't clump the early 20s with the late teens.

i'll be the first to admit that i got the job as a favor but i have kept my job becaus im a good/hard worker and i am not claiming i havent gotten any help (as im sure you have gotten in your life) also i would call juggling rent,car note,utilities, and living expenses being paid on time EVERY month good money managent but maybe we have different views on money management

Thats all im getting at...nobody that young has absolutely made it without a little help here or there, and its annoying to see people claim that.

Nothing wrong with getting a job by knowing someone, since you are repaying that favor by being a good employee. And yeah, money management skills are great, but you also gotta have it to manage it.

By that logic no one at all has made it without a little help here or there.

also, I agree with this.

The other side of the argument really is that there are people of all age groups that take favors to get ahead. Why is that a negative? If you can get help , take it. That's my other 2 cents.
