i agree but some people are so brainwashed from such an early age that they need to go to college and the best one out there or they won't be successful in life.

I should point them to my old neighbor who didn't go to school and worked as a HVAC tech. Then started his own company and he barely works now and is 42.

That's true success in my book

The teenager the post is talking about and your neighbor are not the norm. For normal/average people (like me, for example), going to university and getting a degree is the best way to maximize our chances to get a decent income and average way of life (paying bills, eating good food, etc.)

I think it’s kinda obvious. Haven’t you seen the enormous amount of people out there without studies that have a very difficult life?
