Many a young person tosses it around in the mind whether to go to college or learn a vocation through work. Not everyone is meant for academics. There are brilliant workers skilled in mechanics, electronics or the arts. Some even question how valuable a college degree is these days. In many ways it’s just brain-washing by professors spewing their own version of the world. I think the big thing I got out of college was the 80/20 rule and how it applies throughout life. What college did, however, is prove to employers that I had the will to complete that arduous process…to finish what I started. That can also be accomplished by working hard at an occupation by learning a trade. Some even move on to start their own companies because they believe in their ability to do it better than others they’ve watched. So it’s really the will that matters, not only the skill.
