[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 4762044, member: 42554"] I loved college and have a useful degree but decided to drive instead of going to law school. I use my college education every day and have no regrets. If I didn't enjoy this job I'd just go to law school (and that can be done without going into ridiculous amounts of debt). All of my friends have degrees and make similar or more money but work in offices and that's just not me. They pay eye popping premiums for health insurance and retirement is a decade further off than mine. They work a lot less but have stresses I can't relate too. They envy my vacation time while I envy their bank holidays and that they can make happy hour every day. I'm tired of the "college is not for everyone" argument. That's a cop out to avoid admitting you are afraid at failure. I took 4 years of Latin and sucked so bad at it but I was there every day doing the work and putting in the effort. College basically teaches you critical thinking skills and that is a value in every facet of your life. Go to college early, go late when the opportunity is available or when an unplanned opportunity presents itself. Just go. [/QUOTE]
