College graduates will *feel* differently about this subject because they're in debt up the ass because of school, so needless to say.. they'll have plenty of excuses to justify their expenditure.

There are too many factors here, and each person has a different mind-set that either requires school or doesnt. One size doesnt fit all.

Most important thing is to try to determine what field you want to go in. Obviously, you cant become a doctor or lawyer without school - you need the degree to practice. Certain fields are more flexible, and if you are motivated and not lazy, and you have the right connections.. you can squeek in, learn the trade and advance your career as you pickup experience and knowledge.

Bottom line that most people seem to forget, is that we're all in the same rat-race paying for the same expenses (some more, some less), and overall.. are seeking the same things. You need a home, most likely a car, food, insurances, etc - no matter what you do, you need to generate money to pay for these things, period.

So you can fuck around and go to school, rack up loans.. start a practice, doesnt matter - just make that fuckin cheddar to pay those bills (and those loans), and work toward a positive future.

If you scratch school and follow a profession you desire, cool.. just remember that no one has your back but you. Get up in the morning, bust your ass, learn the trade, always readup and gain that knowledge.

Too many slackers in this world... school or no school - you gotta work to stay on top, period.
