I didn't go to college. I graduated, joined the air force, broke my leg, and just went from job to job. Now, I work at a nuclear power plant. No credit card bills. No loans. No car payments. I own my own land. I can put away over a grand in the bank every month and still do whatever I want to do ( just got back from Disney World on Saturday morning).
My wife also didn't go to college. She manages apartment complexes and she makes great money. She doesn't even have to help me pay bills.
My friend went to college to become a lawyer. He worked at Wal Mart until he was almost thirty until he finally graduated. Now, be works at a bank. Wtf!?!
Meanwhile my ex's son graduated Clemson college to become a chemical engineer. He's traveled waaaaaaaaaaay more than me and makes as much, if not more than I do--but he's got a lot of debt, too.
So what's your story? Did you go to college? Did it help or hurt you? Was the experience and knowledge worth the price of admission?
