And I agree that college is not for everyone. There is nothing wrong with learning a trade. We need more plumbers.
If someone wants to start a plumbing business that's fine. You can still make good money in blue collar work as @IceCreamKid has shown in his latest thread. Secondly, degrees are nice if you are trying to work for someone else. However, I don't think that is the path the majority of people on this forum are trying to travel down. Unless the degree is the most effective and efficient way to prepare yourself for the business you are attempting to create, I don't see a reason you need to go get a degree. Plenty of people skipped college and did fine for themselves, many of which are on this forum. Paging @MJ DeMarco @SteveO @Vigilante among others. Sure, you might not become the next billionaire drop out, but that doesn't mean you can't make more money that 99% of the people with college degrees.
I recently read an article that was trying to redefine how people viewed homelessness. One of the men that was interviewed was a homeless man in his 50's living in San Francisco who said he had a Masters of Finance from Stanford. While formal education certainly does attract the type of people who have the propensity to succeed it is not a bullet-proof method to success. I'm currently a Senior in college, so I don't condemn formal education, but I also understand that it is simply one of the many ways to obtain valuable skills. Keep an open mind Toni and you'll go a lot further in life.
