It really depends on what you want to achieve in life. If you want to be a professional (accountant, lawyer, doctor, etc), then of course you can't afford to be without the necessary education. But if you want to go to business, from what I heard college education can in some cases turn against you. But I guess not everyone without college education can turn into the next Jobs or Gates.
There are more and more professors who are currently on food stamps and welfare:Originally Posted by AtomicDew
"Ms. Bruninga-Matteau is part of an often overlooked, and growing, subgroup of Ph.D. recipients, adjunct professors, and other Americans with advanced degrees who have had to apply for food stamps or some other form of government aid since late 2007.
"Some are struggling to pay back student loans and cover basic living expenses as they submit scores of applications for a limited pool of full-time academic positions. Others are trying to raise families or pay for their children's college expenses on the low and fluctuating pay they receive as professors off the tenure track, a group that now makes up 70 percent of faculties. Many bounce on and off unemployment or welfare during semester breaks. And some adjuncts have found themselves trying to make ends meet by waiting tables or bagging groceries alongside their students."

Great way to make your point. You really told me.
BTW, I earned my degree some time ago. Best thing I ever did. If you don't want to go to university that's your business, but the odds will be stacked against you. That's what all the available evidence shows to be true.
And for others considering avoiding higher education, see my previous posts on this thread (here and here) for links to indisputable evidence.

I'm not sure what the point you're trying to make with that article is. I doubt you even read the whole article. It's specifically about adjunct (part-time) professors, not the general public. However, this quote is taken from the same article:
People who don't finish college are more likely to receive food stamps than are those who go to graduate school. The rolls of people on public assistance are dominated by people with less education.

To be happy? No, not at all
To have a chance of many jobs? Absolutely
There is not a single job in my area of work (law) that would hire anyone without a college degree
You learn so much more in college (or university as we call it) than just what your degree entails. The friends you make in varsity are for life and also, going into the working environment with a degree in hand helps you advance up the ranks so much quicker than people without a degree. Also in this day and age, so many people have degrees and diploma's. People with just bachelors degrees are fighting for jobs. You need much more than a bachelors to get a good job now.
For some people it takes a first hand experience to learn, you seemingly are one of those people. What do you want me to do? Give you a cookie and pat you on the head because you went to college?
It's great that was the crowning point of your life, but I don't feel a need to shove my achievements in the face of others to justify them or feel adequate. Not everyone has to go to college to be successful or find a job/career.
I'm fine with working for a wage that meets my needs. I'm not setting out to attain a fortune, I'm not some childish fool who feels he needs to attend school and join a frat house to become something in life.
If the odds are stacked against me, that's fine I work better against opposition and tend to preform best under pressure.
I'm not going to put myself into debt to attend schools for things I can learn for free.
I didn't have to attend college and take out thousands of dollars in loans to become educated and knowledgeable. I didn't have to attended college to be a critical thinker, I didn't have to attended college to be happy or satisfied with myself or my life.
Please, belt off how I'll regret it later or how I must be a person of low standards.
I've got a life to live, rather than toil away trying to repay debt and attain some artificial, self-gratifying position of "higher education".
If you've got issue with my lifestyle choices, well you'll just going to have to deal with it.

Let me summarised all the above points, views and evidence asserted. In the words of Einstein, "It's all relative". Meaning anyone can give good advice about what is effective for them, but they also have to realize that it may not prove a good advice for somebody else. Higher Education is good and beneficial for some but not all.
After all the beauty of life is that we are all different.

Agreed. And lack of education is detrimental to success for most, but not for all.
So given the choice, as it seems the thread starter was a good student, I would advise him to try Higher Education, and have a 1/100 of it not being beneficial, rather than drop college and have a 99/100 chance of it being detrimental.
you do know slagging people off because they dont agree with you is just showing how intelligent you really are im glad now i left school when i was 15 because with your higher education came ignorance unless you were like that before you went which could be the case but who am i to judge anyone by there comments im not edgumacated like you
