“Traditional jobs are changing and new jobs are created every day. High paying but unskilled jobs are disappearing.”

I remember when I was a child, that a High School diploma was essential for landing a job that was well paying. As new jobs are created, and the hierarchy of competition increases, we need to have more and more education to acquire and sustain work. I have family members that only have their high school diplomas, and they made a very good salary. To this day, they hold their positions and make $75,000. I have more education than they do, but my salary is no where near that high. Also, for me to earn more money, I need more schooling and a degree of completion. As time continues, I feel as if we are having skilled low-paying jobs and attached to that is debt from schooling. Now a bachelor's degree isn't much anymore, people need their masters degree to be hired for a job. I feel that this is disheartening for adults that have no high school degree. How many years will it take for them to have a decent job with a decent salary so that they may have a better life?
