[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Non college grad who earns 375-400,000 annually in sales. Never had student loan debt and have been on my own and saving since 19.

Will not be pushing my kids into college. If they want to go, great, ive saved for it. But I won’t be pushing them. The math on what 4 years of college at the SLAC i chose, vs the money I put away and compounded is substantial.  [/quote]

The loss to an intellectually talented person who never attends college cannot be measured in money. [/quote]

Oh, I attended. I just chose to stop attending after one year. I found myself more likely to be date raped or narrowly directed into a MRS. degree, than educated. Small, expensive, SLAC with a bunch of entitled white people waiting to inherit their Daddy's company. BORING, to an intellectually talented person.

I found traveling the world to be much more of a gain than college, and my experiences overseas and with meeting diverse people led to my later success.

YMMV. [/quote]
