Aditya’s Answer

First and foremost there is not shortcut to success and money. 4 years of college actually teach you a lot as an individual, as a student and as a human being, you get a chance to learn many new things directly or indirectly and these 4 years actually clearly tell you what do you want to do next in your life.
My advise don't miss this chance, please enroll and get a decent degree in whatever you are interested into.
And if you still really want to earn lot of money without attending college then try to find out if you have any special skills with you and try to get those skills to the next level.
Don't chase the money, chase your dreams then money will chase you

Corrine’s Answer

Hello Luz,


College is not for everyone, but it certainly helps in many careers. If you can get some IT certifications (Cisco and other IT certifications), I have heard that the field can be lucrative and many companies will hire non-college graduates. Remember: Learning is not a waste of time. It is a powerful tool that will help you both in your professional and personal life. Enjoying what you do is utmost in being happy in life. Don't sacrifice happiness for money.

Mark’s Answer

Money is important , but enjoying life is even more important.
Maslow proved many years ago, that after you earn a certain amount of money (that is now stated as 75k a year), happiness stops.

Find what you love to do.
If you are hung up about money, then find what you low to do that makes money.

Tech is hot, so you can go to a bootcamp and in 12 weeks get a job above the 75k threshold. You can get to double that within 10 years.

However, college is not a waste. You will learn more living on campus, or if you join a fraternity or sports team then you will get in many years behind a desk.

I ran a college planning firm for 4 years - see my advice below

Mark recommends the following next steps:

Take the time to research what you love to do. Read what college is your parachute or any book in that section of a library or bookstore for career planning exercises and do them
Talk to people in fields that may interest your - you can filter by the amount of money you can make, but that should never be primary
If you don't think college is for you, there are many options, boot camps, peace corp, gap year, (hey be a ski instructor)
Remember, you have a whole life ahead of you. Do some planning for 1-3 and 3-5 years. If you are great at what you do, you can make money doing a lot fo things
Get a mentor to help guide you.

Simeon’s Answer

You'd be well advised to try a trade such as welding, HVAC, electrician, or plumber. You can start pulling a salary for these very quickly. If you invest the money from these jobs early on, such as in ETFs or getting a low interest mortgage, you can put yourself in a financially secure position very quickly.

Robert’s Answer

College for many is a means to an end. The college education received by doctors, dentists, and teachers was not pointless or a waste of time because if they had not attended college they would not have those jobs. I suggest you think about what sort of career you are interested in and then devise a plan to help you get there. That might be college, trade school, an apprenticeship, or the military. None of those options are a waste of time or pointless if they are part of a plan.

Gautam’s Answer

College isn't for everyone, but you should still seriously consider it! In the short run, it can be expensive since you have to pay for it and also delay full-time work for a few years. In the long run, though, there are some high-paying professions that require college degree. Even for jobs that don't require them, they often prefer applicants with a college degree. I would say that most high-paying careers fall into this bucket.

The college experience can also be rewarding and helpful beyond just having a degree. For many people, college is the last opportunity they'll have to learn and have fun without having 100% of typical adult responsibilities. You'll have the entire rest of your life to work! If college isn't right for you, it's certainly not a requirement. But if you change your mind about that 10 years later, you will have a very different experience than you will when you're right out of high school.
