no of course not, but that was what turned oout best for them, and for you , well, you have to figure that out, not base it on what others have done. There will always be exceptions to the rule, so just because Jesus and Lincoln didn't, doesn't mean a thing as far as your life. It is just a fact that people who attend college successfully TEND to have best jobs and more opportunity...but remember, I have a friend who partied for a year and then went to work for GM...he retired over the summer and is sitting pretty at age 50, with income all he needs for the rest of his life

Nope. College isn't a guaranteed formula for success. I absolutely recommend going to college as it provides essential tools for being able to compete in the world marketplace but ultimately, individual success depends on drive, persistence, resilience and so many other things that cannot be taught.

No, but the majority of successful people not only attended college, but grad and post graduate school!

No. Tom Cruise is not college educated and look where he ended up.
Wait a minute. That's probably not the best example.

Not all successful people went to colllege. Maybe a majority of them did. I personally feel that in order for you to become successful, you should believe that you are in whatever you are going to do. LMAO!
I tried to give you my honest opinion, but, oh well.
