    Just curious, why did you mention in your book that you don't regret the college degrees you got? Edit: And I'll have YOU know that thanks to college, I won a poster design contest and mine was used across town. Fastlane here I come! Bahaha

    Thank you very much for your reply. By the way, I am choosing not to because I literally have no street smarts. I don't even fully understand mortgages, lol. I'd never survive if I just moved somewhere. However, I literally just finished this book and started working on my business. I prefer the...

    Ok, I'm still planning on going (as if I have a choice anyways lol). Awesome! I won't have friends up there anyways so I plan on doing that. :)

    Thanks for your input! That's true, I could hire people for that, although I remember MJ specifically saying to avoid human resource if possible. Your approach is kinda where I'm going. Why not try both? I can always leave college if it becomes too hectic to run both. My business could very well...

    :) They are paying for half right now but we are about to take out a 10,000 loan for the year (yikes!). I also have a brother going to college who they are also paying half for. But hey, maybe my business will pay for that loan soon lol. So far we have no college debt until that loan for Fall...

    I am glad to hear about a success story like yours! Within 5 minutes I found more free graphic design resources that were not only MORE helpful than my college graphic design class, but also included stuff that my NEXT college doesn't even include. College really is a business. It's hard though...

    I have another question for you that I as well as many others would like to know. I'd really appreciate a reply. Is being an entrepreneur really as complex and challenging as it appears? I just read the gold threads and there's all these employees, taxes, building purchases, and government stuff...

    You are just what I needed. Perhaps I threw too big of an idea at them and though my dad seems more hopeful, she still seems set in her ways. I just hope I can keep up full time college and this. I'm coming up with more automation techniques for when I go off to college as we speak. I can always...

    Awesome reply. Thank you. I still wish I knew why @MJ DeMarco stated that he DIDN'T regret his business degrees though. Even though they weren't directly related to his success, maybe they gave him skills and knowledge he couldn't have had much success without?

    I just tried approaching her with evidence and a very confident approach, but as soon as I mention college being a waste of money and time potentially, and I've tried every kind of reasoning, she immediately shuts it down. I still have a lot of drive, but I'm struggling with the discouragement...

    Thank you, I mentioned there are normal everyday success stories, but she still thinks I can't be those people and should still go to college "just in case." She sees all the failures and doesn't want me to be yet another, which I understand. I don't either! Lol. I also wondered about the part...

    Hmmm intriguing, I agree. I guess this post is kinda directed at how to remove the doubt of people. I'm trying to figure out if I'm capable of this as well, as I'm not a risk taker and it's still somewhat of a risk even if I follow everything in the book. It doesn't explain every last detail and...

    I agree. I guess she sees, firsthand, my dad who succeeded with his Bachelor's Degree and sees we are very well off. She says people these days won't take me seriously or trust me unless I have that ever important degree. I can't just pick up and leave, like you did, because I don't even know...

    Automating art, is it possible?

    That's a great idea; I'm going to consider that. Fineartamerica actually gives you a free professional website when you sign up for their membership, so I could use that. The only reasons I leaned towards Etsy are because of their huge audience and their easy customization setup. I have also...

    Edit: I should mention I also understand that MJ doesn't say no one should go to college, but for an art job that isn't in huge demand and doesn't pay tons, it seems pretty pointless. I have not seen a forum post or anything in the book about this issue specifically. I fully agree that...
