I have no degree and I think life's working out just fine. When I have kids some day I won't push them one way or another. If they want to do college, great, if they dont want to, great.
I took some classes, I'm like 4-5 short of having an associates degree, but what's taht REALLY ever going to get me. I've been turned away from maybe 2-3 jobs because I didn't have a degree, others gladly accept my 10 years experience over a piece of paper, as they 100% should. I wanted to finish it, why waste that money, but now I have no desire or time or actual reason to do so. It will in no way benefit my actual education or income at this point. Luckily it was only about 9k wasted at a community college.
I couldn't imagine starting my life off in as much debt as some people my age due to college. I'd never be where I'm at now, and would probably be making half the money that I was 5 years ago still.
In my field (IT) most of the people right out of school are dip shits. They know some stuff from a book but don't know how to put any of it together and are so narrow minded and focused on that 1 thing they studied. (I shouldn't have to physically plug in a developers computer. you can write a program but cant hook up your pc? really and you want 140k a year?)
Having NOT done that I'm so much more well rounded, I feel like I Have an open door for much more opportunity than if I went to school to study 1 thing.
