E137 | No Degree Required : $60,000 to $185,000+ as a Security Analyst–Wib Gridley’s Story

His dad wasn’t in the picture. Wib Gridley’s mom was a single parent that sometimes worked three jobs simultaneously just to take care of her kids. By the time he was 16, his friends were stealing cars and getting in trouble. He realized if he went down the same path he’d either be dead or his life would be a wreak. So, he decided to drop out of high school. But he had a plan. He joined the military.
