Re: how much did you spend to be able to make what you make(salary)
So all you making tons of money... how much did you spend on education.
Me...
10 linux disk
200 first laptop ---- dumped
350 sec laptop ---exchange with a nice chair
700 3rd laptop -- give to some one
100 laser printer.
Tons of books from amazon. majority of which I did not read, some I sold back.
some gave to library.
Electonic equipment about 200-300$.
Getting calls for interviews Priceless... for every thing else master card.
I understand the question ... but I don't think it will count for anything ... some people did degrees in physics, but end up making their bucks from selling drugs or prostitution ... Education should never never never be done with the false premise that the subject matter or the price of the course will lead to the equivalent income.
Education should be done for making ourselves better at thinking and understanding the universe around us and it should be done with fervour and passion and not as a means to an end ... which happens to be misplaced anyway ... Rizq comes from God.

After high school - I Fully supported my self - so the undergraduate degree , post graduate degree and other professional courses ( Apart from few - they were sponsored by employers ) were totally funded by working in tesco , texaco , Spar , indian restaurants , security companies and finally BT and then Eircom :D
Post grad was a smooth sailing as I managed to get a professional job by that time ..
I guess I have spend some where 40 K in £ on my education and I am still counting :)

I guess this philosphy is fine and good if you are from a wealthy family or are independently wealthy already and don't have to worry about paying future bills, rent and putting food on table for future family. For the rest of us, it is not very practical, is it?
