^Atom: I had the same college experience.

My real worls experience so far.

I have a degree and am a small business owner. One of the things my degree helped me to do was get loans to start my business. I have been in business 1 year now and have paid down about 1/4 of my debt. My take home is pathetic in my mind, reason being because my loan payments are so high.

My buddy has no degree. Started his business 2 years before me. Out of debt at the end of year two and making more money than I do. Now at the end of year three he is stable and just bought a house. Now the race begins to see who can make more money over the next 10 years.

What I get out of this is that if you have a good work ethic, are self employed and dont mind going into a ton of debt right out of high school or college you should be succesful.
