If it makes you feel better a lot of world's newest billionaires are college dropouts. Hell even the likes of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg all were dropouts.

No way, however it is important to seek knowledge, be it through the internet or preferably the university of life by travelling around. If you mix the knowledge gained from the life experiences of meeting people and working hard, especially at a young age combined with enthusiasm and good manners you will likely go far.

I left school at 15, did an overland trip across Africa at 21 and then came up with a novel idea which I worked hard at and

eventually had a small company earning 150k a year with my business partner for many years. The only qualification gained to this day is driving licence! Hard work is essential along with the ability to get on with others, therefore earning respect as opposed to envy. Treat others as you would wish them to treat you and never look down on anybody however humble a job they may have.

Always remember, it is they who will promote you to success financially and are essential for the goals you wish to achieve making your life rewarding both at work and home.

Not at all.

I've been both colleges before and dropped out. So I'm working right now.

NO.

It's knowledge you need to be successful in life not "propaganda" masquerading as education, teaching you NOT to think for yourself.

Look at Bill Gates, dropped out of university.

Or Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs enrolled in Reed College in Portland, Oregon in 1972 but dropped out after only one semester, due to lack of funds.



Contrast, those who designed the financial products which necessitated the system being guaranteed by socialist type government bailouts in 2008 actually attended university. Seems the masters of the universe, couldn't access risk accurately. One in a life time event, was there mantra. Once is all that was needed.



They certainly "acquired" the tools to advance in life! And to think anyone off the street, a halfwit could have done the same without the need to squander time and money going to university!



To be successful you need an enquiring mind, curiosity, an aptitude to think outside the box for answers to solve problems.

All education at university seems to do is turn out mindless drones. Who in order to pass say what they are taught.

One of my college professors along these lines said their are plenty of plumbers and electricians who make over $100,000 a yr but oftentimes people don't take those types of work because society stresses and presses college like its the only answer.



The combination of college savings accounts, teachers and counselors pushing college, and college advertisements all come full circle and guide people into college even if they don't know what they want to do with their life.

Not everyone's personal interests and strong points lead them to college.



I am a major believer in higher education. This can include trade school with hands on learning approaches, certification classes in specific fields and yes...of course college, both in class and online depending on the learner.



The point isn't to have a college degree. The point is to be well educated in a field that interests you and taps into your natural skills. College is only one method.

College has absolutely nothing to do with success it's simply a tool that can be utilized towards whatever you're trying to find success in. Compared to most vocational schools college is an absolute joke, in college your success is based off of general education where as vocational/trade schools your success is based off of actually being good at your craft.

If you're not going to college, then you should at least go to trade school. Become an electrician, chef, plumber, carpenter, welder, beautician/stylist, or work in the medical professions, hospitality, clerking/law, law enforcement, firefighting, the military, musical instrument repair, whatever. There is trucking, veterinary assistant, veterinary technician--and some of those there are at separate schools that aren't actual college.



You need to do something definite or you'll probably be working at McD's or Starbucks for the rest of your life. Costco would be a best choice if you're going straight into the workforce.



It's not good to leave high school with no plans. Community college is a good affordable place to start if you're feeling overwhelmed by the process. They are cheap but you still get people with master's and doctorate degrees teaching you, often giving you more of their time out of class, smaller class sizes at many colleges, etc. Most states give you a process where you earn your associate's degree that you can take with you directly to a 4 year state college or university. Some will help you get a degree in nursing, veterinary technician, or a partial to full bachelor's degree in teaching and education.



There are a lot of volunteerism experiences you can do in vulnerable places in the world if you're not ready to start college yet. Those can last 1-2 years and some people find they are ready to really come home and work on college when they're done. Talk to your school counselor about those.



Then there are very short programs to get your Certified Nursing degree (to become a CNA). It would be a very low-paying job, and you might get stuck there if you have children. That is a way to start to see if you'd like nursing, if you're considering that.



If you are going to go into your own small business, that is a very difficult thing to do, and for lucrative businesses it's good to go get your Bachelor's at a university with a business degree to help you learn how to handle that kind of pressure and responsibility. Not everything at college has to be "elite" but it doesn't hurt to get your universal renaissance education (liberal arts) as well and understand things that go far beyond what you'd learn in high school--very fulfilling things--in addition to a business degree for instance. If you will feel incomplete somehow with not having taken on college, then start at a community college that also has a vo-tech set of offerings too. Every voter in this country should try to learn about philosophy, civics, psychology, sociology, history, literature, mathematics, science, etc. People take college for granted and ignore the value that it has always offered--things privileged people were only able to be able to do are more available now. Don't think of it as a piece of paper, wasting these new opportunities for the working and middle classes. It is an honor and a blessing to be able to be educated in the many things those who haven't gone to college don't understand, and some, not all, of those who did go to college didn't avail themselves of. As Ben Franklin said, "The only thing more expensive than education is ignorance." That's why our nation does try to achieve post-secondary education opportunities so all of us have a chance to enjoy what life has to offer.



"If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it from him." Ben Franklin



Another note: people of certain classes used to DREAM of going to college. My father worked in the air force and did 2 tours in Vietnam, partly because he wanted to get his degree in computer science. In addition to that he has a desire to learn all of the many things life has to offer, and has worked for big companies making a very good living. It used to be a privilege that kept millions behind in the ability to go anywhere in life, and now college and its benefits are not just some pipe dream. College has ALWAYS cost money, and is not a racket or just a piece of paper as so many complain of here. Disgusting spoiled people can't see the value or didn't apply themselves. THE TRUTH: graduating with an Associate's or a Bachelor's degree IS the new high school diploma for most. This is no longer 1950 and your life is not like the movie Grease.

A lot of times you can learn what is in college online for free. Its just a piece of paper that you get. However people like to see the paper. But that doesnt mean they wont hire you because you dont have one. Also what is defined as success?
?
2018-01-23 11:29:40 UTC
Of course not. College doesn’t mean success for everybody. The best kind of success is the one that makes you happy. Never try to do a job that you aren’t happy with. You won’t do your best, and you won’t feel as good about yourself or your position in life. Do what you love best.

No, there are plenty of failures that went to college. ... While college will give you the credentials to get a higher paying job, most employers look for experience. You might have a four year degree with high honors, but you'll still get passed up by a community college grad with two years on the job.

No. but if you do [plan in enrolling in an institution of higher learning, get a degree where you learn a trade/career. Are you aware that a Air Conditioning Repairman earns slightly more than a teacher in some areas? Unless you want to seek a degree as a lawyer, teacher, etc, enrolled in one where you can keep your ideals and won't be 'learning' how to hate white people and capitalism which most institutions of higher learning are currently teaching....waste of a beautiful mind and money...just watch the news and see how students are turning into flakes are teaching students to seek 'safe spaces' to avoid differences of opinion, or teaching students to color to avoid other's opinions.

We live in a society that puts too much emphasis on college degrees. We need trade workers we need people in vocations like plumbing and electricians and things like that. If you're not book smart or you don't like school you don't have to force yourself to go to school. I'm going to college because I want to be a teacher obviously I need to go to school for that, but as someone who is going to be a teacher I see the pros and cons of higher education. Most of higher education is a gimmick it's just a money-making scheme so don't let yourself fall into that. Do what makes you happy and what you're good at vocational schools are a really great alternative to college. My husband is an HVAC technician and owns his own business but never went to college and he makes more money than I'm going to make for the most part. Good luck

We go to college to work for people who didn't go to college. Funny thing is, we think that our jobs are going to help make us as successful as they are. $153K in college debt for a BS degree, and my life is on hold from buying a house. Sure I make decent money due to my college degree, but I could've made this (and more) doing something else without college. The whole idea of college being a necessity is based on standards to meet the demand of the Industrial Revolution. Most of those jobs are now becoming obsolete as we move into the computer age. We had an IT guy where I used to work who was 20 years old and literally schooling all the IT guys with college degrees. How did he learn? He spent hours reading books he checked out at his public library and practiced on his computer. Sometimes the techs would stumble onto a programing issue and this guy would always find a solution...ALWAYS. At 20 years old!! Success is based on many factors with one being good old fashioned luck. If you want make decent money as a worker bee, then college is for you. Like Trash said above, "College has literally nothing to do with success."

I lke seeing all these people putting down college because they could not get in or they picked a major that is not employable. While it is perfectly possible to make a fine living without a college degree but it will be a lot harder.



A degree gives you a shot at the higher income jobs but is no guarantee. Many college graduates do poorly. But looking at the statistics. Your chances for a good middle class lifestyle are about 3 times better with a degree than without.

Plainly put, no. The American dream that you go to college, get a good job, a big house, and fancy car is just that, a dream. Many people who went to school are not even working in their field. You start life off in debt with student loans. In the BIble at Matthew 5:3 it says,"Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need, since the Kingdom of the heavens belongs to them." So going to school and getting a good job is not going to make you happy. Its cultivating your spiritual need that is going to bring you lasting happiness. At Matthew 6:33 it says, " Keep on, then, seeking first the Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you." So if we put worshiping God first in our lives we will be successful.. You can get a trade or learn a skill that will be flexible and not take up all of your time. That way you have time to read the Bible and worship with God's people.

Needing to ask such a Q here possibly shows you might not have had parental support while growing up which is really such a shame and especially because how you're feeling now! If you're in school still you could always talk to a school counsellor and ask them for their opinion "however" their response understandably will possibly be a yes, but obviously not on the grounds of being a failure, more to do with better career prospects. Hope that helped!

College is not for everyone, and it's very expensive. Getting an education beyond high school is a good idea, however. More opportunities open up. Consider a trade school or a 2 year-year college to get a degree. The more education you have under your belt (along with experience) will help in the long run (especially for living expenses and income).
2018-01-22 20:31:30 UTC

NO! college doesn't define your success or failure, it is your ability, determination and hard work that determines it.

No .. I don't consider my plumber to be a failure. He never went to college, yet he earns a personal annual income of over $150,000/year, AND has his own company.

College is not an important thing. I think everyone can achieve everything he wants without an education in the college or university. Especially, in the USA. The main thing what human can to do in his life, what's his future profession.

You're a failure if you give up on the way. Some people keep studying 10 years and end up with a much happier outcome than those who go to college and get a job they don't want. It's about how hard you keep pushing yourself to get where you want to be. If you're satisfied with a average part time job then go for it. It's about what you're capable of and how hard you keep working.

Let's put it this way, whether you go to college, get your training the conventional way, with the amount of technology that continues spiraling upwards, you must be in to the MODE, of "continuing education" throughout your career. By courses, by seminars, by technical advancement training, reading, on and on, and it won't quit. You need to get training some way some how, via "traditional" education non conventional ways, and................ HARD WORK.



added, if you follow Christ and do the will of God, you will fail and succeed, but you will NOT be a "failure"

No you will not be a failure if you don't go to college. However, there are still some pros about college that can make it better than a person who doesn't go. I notice people who have college degrees get better reputation than a person who doesn't have any college education because they are looked at as being smarter or having a better work ethic. Plus when you look down the road later in your life, you might regret not going. I've meet so many older people wishing they went to college back then when they were younger. College is not necessarily needed to be successful, but put some huge thought into it. How do you want to see yourself 20 to 30 years from now In terms of education and having a career you enjoy doing.

Definitely won't be. You'll be be better off financially in the short term without the student debt. It really depends on what you want to achieve. It's possible to start out on a career and work your way up. Later on you can add qualifications. There are plenty of other entrepreneurial activities and you can be self-taught in a any number of opportunities. We live in one of the best times for opportunities these days.

It’s up to you to decide what failure is
?
2018-01-23 22:00:35 UTC
No. Take the money you would spend on a college education and invest it in your self. Start a business. The number one way to become successful and wealthy is self employment. If you need some experience, take a class in the specific skill you lack. As the Boss and Owner of the business, your past work experience does not matter. A JOB is nothing more than selling your time to an employer. Natural Law gives you a limited amount of time to sell. Limiting your income potential. Selling something else or several other peoples time gives you unlimited income potential. Just the facts. You never see a wealthy person that sells just their time. Also created multiple sources of income. Depending on one source of income is a bad financial position to be in.

2018-01-23 13:07:10 UTC
No in fact for those who are not academically inclined college is a waste of time when you could be pursuing trade qualifications.We will always need plumbers, electricians etc which can be very well paid, and some people are quite happy to take mundane low skilled work with just enough money to get by.

Failure to me is pushing yourself to be a high earner in a career that leaves you unhappy in spite of the financial rewards.

Education only matters in successful Great Nations where higher education is necessary just to function as an ordinary citizen.

Case in point example of a country like that:

'The future for Britain's millennials is depressingly bleak — these key charts show why'

'A bailout for jobless millennials? For unemployed and depressed youths, job-training programs and mental-health services are more important than ever'



Only way a degree is useful to people in broken nations is if someone plans to move to a better country.

In which case, a youth is better off earning a degree in whatever superior nation they're hoping to become the lucky citizens of.

Beats the living hell out of lingering in nothing nations where everything and everyone are going down the tubes like losers.

Feels like it, but with Cultral Marxism being taught instead of career of passion education, i think i will revert to doing it the old fashioned way by reading books and taking a college exam on it for knowledge merit in those fields to show them what i am made up of working pro-bono for the experience and gaining more credibility and reliability merit which with the degree, the recommendations from other companies getting good pressings in my experiences and knowledge to show that i know what i am doing, i will get hired for the career of my passions after all that hard work, gained hands on experience through 3 years of free service, and through my determination of not giving up being the best at my dream career.

2018-01-24 10:56:31 UTC
It helps. Where I live it has become an unnecessary, unaffordable requirement. While ignoring, talent, experience, and other skills. Believing gossip, stereotypes, and myths. Punishments for people's past. My point is businesses, including The Christian Church need to be more accountable, and stop using wh the poor was in high school against them now.
2018-01-24 00:33:58 UTC
Yes because if the economy goes south all of a sudden your job is most likely eliminated. Finding another one that pays more than the minimum wage is impossible. But if you have a degree even when there is a resesion employers will hire you but not offer you any benefits

My father retired at the age of 32 without a college education, making just under 6 figures per year. My mother did not go to college, she makes about $80,000 per year. I tried college, twice, both times I dropped out. I am 22, and making $60,000 per year.



College doesn't determine your success or failure. There are plenty of high paying jobs that don't require an education beyond college.

No, there are apprenticeships too. Working in the trades makes a lot of money, so no, even if you don't go to college/university, you aren't a failure. If you decide to work in the trades, you don't need a post secondary education I don't think. Or at least where I live.
