I see a lot of people asking this question and I just wanted to get some direct answers. I stopped going to college when I was done partying. I started my own business and make more money than any of my friends (or anyone I know my age) that graduated. Most of them are coming to me for work and I feel as if though they were robbed of money and years of their life conforming to the wasteless protocol society demands. Can anyone here cite one example where a college degree had a direct effect on someone making real money? (over 200k/year) I think this question is important for people to have answered, because for myself, I did not learn anything until I stopped going to school and entered the real world. It seems like college/school not only takes your money, but conditions individuals to wear blinders and limits their real potential via it's "cookie-cutter" system. Aside from being a vehicle of order for the masses, does higher education really teach anything valuable?

The intelligence for you to be successful, was in you already, whether you went to college or not, you were going to be successful at any endeavor you undertake! Not everybody has that in them, that's why education gives them a boost or an opportunity to learn! Education is a tool, whether you take advantage of it or not is up to you! Being successful, and having educational knowledge are two different things!

Yes, Higher education can teach you more high tech. Like Poly school and ite school teach the bussiness , account, nurse and more. And the ite have a part time job and part time study in course. At least you can study and work in the same time. The school see you wanted to learn depend on your interest on the course you like the most. So that do not waste money on unwanted course.
