Growing up, I watched my big brother Jacob work all kinds of jobs: bussing tables at an Italian restaurant, cashiering at Blockbuster, and technical support at Comcast. Jacob transitioned into a career in technology, becoming a Solutions Architect, which is a role that straddles sales and technical topics. He went from making $5.15/hour to making well above $100k / year. No Degree.  No problem.
