Rant: Jobs in america

You know those jobs obama promised us? how many of them require a college education?
say you wanted to be a lawyer,
you need to study law,
at a law school or university that teaches it,
going there costs LOTS of MONEY
where do we get money reliably?
a JOB.
say you got that job, how long will it take to pay for your tuition? 1 year? 2 years? till your old and have a prune-face?
keep in mind you gotta pay insurance of all kinds, taxes, bills of all kinds. all of which sap you from one job, making you need to take on a second job, or third or fourth and so on.
my dad has a full education, he builds virtual airfields for military and civilian owned companies, his income pays the bills, insurance and taxes yet still it isn't enough.
my mom is a consultant for a cookware company, her income puts food on the table and only that.
so again i ask: how many of those jobs require an education?

my boyfriend and I both do not have college degrees. I work full time at a retail store and he is a contract computer programmer and we make enough money to cover all bills/insurance/expenses and still put 500 in the bank a week. So really "enough" is relative, I'm sure if some expenses were cut, or spending was capped they might be making "enough"?
