I'm talking about the great majority of the population. Most people think that without college it's hard to succeed and make money. Which is false.
Without college it is hard to find a GOOD CAREER.
Anyone can go to college and put in hard time and hard work to become (insert high paying profession)
I'm talking about your everyday entrepreneur that makes money.
My buddy made $10K profit selling fucking toothbrushes online...last week. Fucker got his GED after dropping out of high school. Great majority of college grads starting out do not make $10K in 3 months.
THe point is college does not teach you how to become rich and make BIG money. College teaches you how to get into a career that you will have to be in for 30 years.
In one way, you kind of sort of understand the big picture, but, in another way, you're completely off.
You seem like a smart young man phuck, so let's put it in simple terms for the "rest" of the folks here.
College is like learning to play chess from someone. The person teaching you will explain the rules and teach you how to simply play the game, but what they won't teach you is how to become an effective winner at the game or, even better yet, how to beat them at their own game. Why? Because by doing so, they will give away that same skill that places them in demand and once they do that, they destroy their own worth and end up nowhere.
The only problem with your statement is that you assume that any ambitious youngster even without a college degree, but with enough chutzpah can pick up and, with just the right amount of luck and determination, become a millionaire.
Sadly, in today's world, having a college degree is kind of like the accepted standard for employment in most jobs. There was a time when just knowing how to read and write could get you a job in most places, then a high school diploma became the basic standard, followed by a GED and now a 4-year college degree is the "
least" you could have to get your ass in the door for a very basic position.
Today, companies and even small business owners don't want to risk losing money on hiring someone that won't become a proven asset for their company/workplace, someone who can give them a decent return on the time and overall investment they place into you. While having a college degree is no guarantee, it sure makes them feel a little more at ease than just hiring some Riffraff off the street.
