[quote=Anonymous]I think getting a college education is vital if one wants to truly succeed in the world.

I raised my two children as a poor, single mother.
I told my kids since birth (j/k) how if they wanted a better life than what we had, w/more options available they had to go to college.
That education was their ticket out of the public housing they were raised in.

One of my children always understood the struggle was 💯% R-E-A-L.
He hated watching me carry around a calculator while grocery shopping.
After graduating w/full honors as well as academic distinction - he went on to graduate from a very reputable university w/a B.S.
He networked after graduation & found a good job in his field and he makes a good living w/many benefits.

On the other hand, my other child struggled w/a cognitive learning disability and ended up so behind academically that she opted to drop out two months before her scheduled graduation and take the GED exam(s) which she passed.
She attended Jr. College for one semester, then dropped out of that as well.
She then joined a franchise retail company where she currently has worked her way to assistant manager - yet her income is very low and at thirty-two she rents an inexpensive room from her uncle.

So yes &gt; a college degree in my humble opinion is necessary to survive and earn a decent living.
Especially if you network immediately after graduation 👨🏻‍🎓.
