I quit college when back when I was 21, I’m 24, and I still don’t think I should go back to college. Now, even my parents have gotten used to the idea I can’t afford to go to college.
It was because of the show The Apprentice I was sure I made the right decision, looking at how people with just high-school degrees where more clever and sometimes more successful than Ivy Leaguers. I’ve been working real hard. I’ve been jumping from company to company going to the one that offers me more money. I’ve worked 3 full time jobs and about 18 part time jobs on these 3 years, buying and reselling stuff as on my spare time, and having 1 or 2 part-time jobs one the side. Right now, just on my full time job, I’m making more money than most college graduates my age, and most 30 year olds in my company. I’ve saved for 3 years. Now I have enough money to start my own business. I need to put all my efforts on this new business, and college just seems like a BIG waste of my time just as it did 3 years ago.
Does anyone think I should go back to college, or keep on with my plan of having a business, and getting some passive income, and then when I’m about 30 finish college just to have a college degree.
