One of the biggest lies peddled by the media and gov't in the last 10 years or so is that EVERYONE deserves a college education. I couldn't disagree more. Not everyone is cut out for it, myself being a prime example. It's one thing to go the route of my buddy, 8 years of school w/ probably 200k+ in loan debt, but he is now an ophthalmologist and will have his debt paid off in no time and will be set for life. It's another to enroll in a 4 year school with no idea in your head of what you want to do or what you want to accomplish. Starting your adult life off in debt puts you at such a disadvantage in the future if you're not sure what you've signed up for. If I could go back and change my short college life (it was fun now, don't get me wrong, but) I would have travelled the world. Life is short and you only live once...
