Been here 5 years.

Only a 5 minute commute. 45 hours guaranteed every week(scheduled OT). $14.50/hr, feels like $17.00/hr, with the OT. 3 weeks PTO

Nights, weekends, and holidays off.

Pretty much all of my job experience is armed security or customer service.

I wanna go back to school for my degree, just so damn expensive. Am I doing decently well for no degree? Should I reasonably be aiming for something higher?

Yeah, all of my friends have four year degrees and make about 50k a year.

I wish I was in the same boat, but Im still doing better than some in my situation, I guess.

yea you should be aiming higher imo. $17/hr is pretty low and 27 is not old but you're starting to get into your career.

even if you like your job and can cover your current expenses, the big problems are going to be job security & savings for the future.

id probably do night classes or go online to finish the BA ASAP, and try and keep the costs down as much as possible so you dont graduate with a lot of debt. if you dont have a college degree i think you'll have a real problem a few years down the road

I wonder if Im eligible for any financial aid. Last time I applied, I was ineligible due to my parents income. (Even though I live on my own)

This is pretty much how I feel about it though. I make okay money now, but as I get older, its just going to feel like less and less.
