Can we agree that all colleges offer promises of a perfectly bright income based future, if you just get a degree?

And what is that degree worth now?

I often felt awkward and dumb because I didn’t go to college.

Maybe I was smart enough to not get tricked into that cycle?

Yes...you were smart enough. I wish I had been. The best musicians I play music with didn't go to music school. When I play with them, I feel embarrassed that I have a music degree. I would have been a better off...and a better musician without it.

Yeah, it's weird because Millennials, generally, grew up being taught that college was mandatory. But in reality, I don't think it's good for everyone. A friend of mine ended up dropping out of art school for financial reasons, and now she's happily doing tattoos for a living.
