The big difference is the type of job you can get.
If you want to work retail you can make decent money, but you are standing all day, dealing with entitled people and work hours that make it difficult to have a life. If you want a 9-5 better get a degree.
I always wonder what people got their degree in that set the expectation of a high paying job.
Also some people go to school for 16 years to be donkey smart.
