Let's face it: college isn't for everyone! Are there benefits to attending an institution of higher learning? Of course.

The jury is out on whether or not she was right, but this is the reality for a lot of people. It's also why a lot of people dive right into the workforce and completely avoid dealing with college.

Shoot - maybe you're in the same boat as I was! I dropped out of college at least 3 times. Why? I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life til it snapped that DJing weddings, bars, events, etc. could open other doors including those to the radio.

Would I have discovered that had I gone to college? There's no surefire way of knowing but at least I've been able to build a career that allows me to support a wife and three kids.

Get out there! Make your money and don't listen to those who think they know what's best for you.
