Well shoot, I coulda toldja that you don't need none of that fancy college stuff. I learned me how to catch frogs n' fry em up over a burnin' tire when I was knee-high to a grasshopper. That's how we do things here in 'murica.
I don't think you realize why people actually go to College. They go there to specialize in a specific career field so they have a much better chance at landing a high paying job because that's how the world functions. imagine Henry Fords assembly line on a global scale. you're not just learning bullshit. And when the college grad and the the kid with the high school diploma go in for a job interview, who is the employer gonna lean towards. also: http://www.bls.gov/emp/ep_chart_001.gif Do you really think the Humanity could sustain itself if people didn't go to school? Because I don't think someone with a GED could easily gain an understanding of a subject like quantum physics. And there would be no doctors
If you graduate High school and have no idea what to do with your life then maybe college isn't for your. For those with clear cut goals go ahead.
This only applies to certain career fields though. fields that require you to build a foundation rather than just gaining experience. Like the progression of math through school. Sometimes it is wiser to avoide thousands of dollars in debt and do what makes you happy
