Right? And if I had to make the decision now, I wouldn't do it. But when you're 18, your parents opinion carries alot of weight- and I had parents that were telling me- STEVE you absolutely cannot be successful without a degree. A degree is everything. It's everything!

And as an ignorant 18 year old, I had no idea what a $175,000 loan really meant. Everyone does it, right? So it must not be that bad.

Well, I agree with your parents in that you need to get a degree. But for most jobs a degree from pretty much anywhere is fine. For technical jobs there are tons of good programs at state schools. That's just too much money.

[stevencorona]

Disagree. You can be wildly successful by just hustling. I am.

Your top end is limited unless you start your own company.

[stevencorona]

Not true. Join a startup. Or better yet, learn how to sell yourself. You'll never need a degree if you can sell your passion.
