[QUOTE="Growley, post: 395159, member: 2408"] To each is own I think, and this is an odd topic for me too. I went to college for 5 years, (wasn't a great student) and the best thing I got from it, and I really mean best, is my wife. I didn't learn how to think, I learned how to follow as thoughts were crammed down my throat. I came out pretty disillusioned about things. To this day I am two classes from my degree, and I've never seemed to need it. I'll admit that having college experience probably helped me get better entry level jobs, but it was hard work and probably some street smarts that helped me get those six figure jobs. They're not all they're cracked up to be either, as most come with stress levels that one can't believe. Now, here I am making pipes for a living, making honestly less per month than I used to pay in taxes, and I'm happy as a clam. Do what you like, and figure out how to live within your means! I wish they could have taught me that in college. [/QUOTE]
