I given this a lot of thought today, so this is against the fastlane philosophy. I didn't really think college was useful more than anything than a degree to get a job. I withdrew from my classes last semester, and so I have to go to a new college to get financial aid next semester. No big deal there. It's free regardless. And I am bored of my city, and I want to go to the big city of my state. If I didn't withdraw and give myself that air to breathe I think I was going to suffocate from the work-study-work-study lifestyle, don't know what I am doing, depression/

Anyways, I thought I could open a business that will make me a millionaire soon without college. I don't think anything I do will make me a millionaire at this current moment , and if I don't go to college... I fear that I may drift the next 4-10 years daydreaming about the fancy life. I think my business could be a complete failure since it's unproven.

At the end, I may just be a loser, which is not what I want. If I go to college, I may get a degree, enrich my mind in fact, and all that. At least I wouldn't be a wage slave at the end, and be a little proud.

If my business at any time proven to be successful, I am going to go focus on that. But if I close to graduation I am going to do that, just part-time college until it's done.


Do you think this is wise?
