Is college completely necessary?

[marktech101]

I don't like this strategy, because it sounds so defeatist. I know too many people who say something similar about their current sh__ job: "Oh, I'm just doing this to pay the bills." If you want to go to college, sweet. Go. But don't waste your time and money (or your parents' money or the government's money) just to bide your time.

Basically, I'm planning on attending (and graduating) college. If I get a brilliant idea while in college, however, I won't complete my education before pursuing my dream. Hopefully it's a win-win situation: Either I get a college education, or I start a blockbuster company.

However, there's a sizable chance that my first business venture will fail, leaving me with part of a college education and no money. Maybe I'll just wait 'till I graduate.

Now I can't decide! Lol. If I just get the college education, I'll have to get a slowlane job to support myself while I think of an idea for a business. Before I know it, I'll have spend too much of my life making profits for someone else and forsaking my dreams.

But if I just start a business fresh out of high school, I'm likely to fail, in which case I'll be in debt from my first failed business, and have no degree to earn a decent income to pay it back. In that case, I'd have to wait even longer to get back on my feet, and even then I probably wouldn't be able to save enough money to go to college early enough in my life to make the education worth it.

Sorry if I'm boring you. I guess I'll just get a college education and land a slowlane job to fund my fastlane dreams.

I'm off to read some more success stories!
