Hi, I'm currently in high school and want to have my own trucking business. My parents are hardcore slow laners and believe that I should get a 4 year college degree and then graduation school and get something like an mba. I really do not see the point in this because I feel like most business degrees are mess around type of degrees, I can learn the information online, and will be in debt. Most likely if I did go to college and followed their ideal path I would not be able to start until I am around 24 and be in debt but if I start right out of high school I would be able to work in the industry for probably a year or two and then start my business at 19 or 20. Everyone I have talked to in person says get the degree but I think a degree would only be worth it if is a career such as a doctor, lawyer, and etc.
