I went to college, got great degrees in engineering and science, made bundles of money, traveled all over the world. But I knew nothing of money, business and getting wealthy so it was not a true success story. Now 30 later, I wish I would have picked up a 1-2 year business degree, went into programming and partnered in a business. If you need money now and we are desperate for staff in so many areas you might hold off on college and get the immediate problem off your back.
