This is interesting because on one hand, I think a lot of people ask themselves “could I have done all that I’ve done without a degree?”
Most definitely you can succeed without a degree (without a high school diploma for that matter). For me, I think the “System” of College is in need a 21st Century overhaul in that (at many schools),you are not being taught real time career information in the classrooms. The people teaching you haven’t been in the field in years, the books are obsolete by the time they are printed, and most times you are not being taught that success is more than the “good job.” You’ll have to find that out on your your own. In some respects, people who skip college have a 4-year jump in this department.
On the other hand I think college was a good thing. I take that back..I know college was a great thing [for me]. Yeah, it slowed me up from pursuing certain entrepreneurial ventures, but it opened up new ones for me. I started my first businesses in college, I met my wife at college and a lot of people that I ended up making money with, I met on that campus.
