<prompt> Human: I work at a family owned business making 12hour. This is the most Ill make until put on salary which starts at 26k a year but there is no guarantee when that will happen. I did not go to college because in trying to decide what I wanted to do with my life the manager above me told me that its not about the path you take its how you walk it. So I decided to stay working for the company. Im scared that Im going to live to regret this decision. Should I stay the course? I really enjoy my job but Im terrified in 8 years Ill look back and regret it all.  <response>: You have very limited income potential at the job. An education provides you a route to higher paying jobs. Figure out what you want to do, make a plan, and go for it
