I opted out of college. Sometimes it bums me out though, because I feel like by learning on the job, I reached the 10 thousand hour mark too early. And it's annoying, I have this savings account of thousands of dollars, and it's like, what am I supposed to do with it? If I had went to college, I'd have been in debt from the get go, so it would be more motivating to pay off like $100k of student loans. This $6,600 college course sounds like a scam. How are you going to be motivated to pay off loans, if there are none? At least it's better than getting paid to learn.
