You can still be friends with her, even if she makes more money.

It’s hard but always remember, comparison is the thief of joy. This type of thing will happen a lot through your career. On any given day, friends will get promoted above you, win more awards than you, buy better houses. But on another day you’ll be the winner and they’ll be jealous. The key is to focus on challenging yourself and enjoying the things you have right now.

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement. On my CV I have a section listed as “Education” and under it I have “Business Studies” with the university name and the 3 years that I attended the course (2.5 to be exact). It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.
