Message: <blockquote data-quote="shouit" data-source="post: 265343" data-attributes="member: 4031">As most people say, college isn't for everyone.  I have a degree and luckly found a job before the big time hiring freezes all the companies were doing, being in the technology field and all.  Some interesting facts, first of all, Bill Gates has NO degree.  He was going to college when he started Microsoft.  So, can you make money without a degree, yeah. Second, that with the influx of people getting higher learning degrees, the amount of people doing manual labor and construction job stuff is going down.  Supply and demand... people will need to do those jobs, so in order to make that possible, we (as a society) will have to make it economically feisble for people to do it.  Remember, people will NEED roads fixed, cars worked on, etc, even in a bad economy like we have.  Sometimes having a job that is secure is better than the ones that pay alot and they get rid of you in a moments notice.  That is what is happening where I work, threaten to lay people off if they don't put in extra time and stuff.Third, on the pro side of college CNN did a story that more women are getting degrees and less men are.  That whole reversal thing, it is something to think about as wel, they are saying that more women will have higher education than their SO's.  But my friends say that college is a good place to meet women.... Don't know myself, met mine after college....In the end, basically do what makes you happy.   That is the most important thing, life is WAY TO SHORT.  GRAB ON AND ENJOY IT.</blockquote>
