Well then as soon as I'm successful you can throw me into the 0.04%. In other words, don't hold your breath. Although I do wish I had a CS degree instead  |

at least the opposite is true -- you have to be successful to afford college. if you or your parents are able to afford it, you've already made it in life

You can luck out and get scholarships but getting to that level heavily favors those in a stable enough environment to 'do good at school', etc.

my mother got her first college degree (an associate's degree) at age 57; my father never had one. one of my grandmothers never even graduated elementary school
my uncle is a doctor but got into huge student loan debt which he still hasn't paid off, despite being ~60 years old and being a doctor. student loans, especially for medical school, are deadly

I hope you two are joking: http://studentaid.ed.gov/PORTALSWebApp/students/english/index.jspAnd school college counselors(at least in pub. school) are required to tell their students about this and facilitate(assist/etc) the process of helping the students through the process. |

Nothing against college, but i don't think it's for everyone... I don't like when some people act as though college is the only way to succeed in life... especially when they're ditzy.

Business Management. Before, I was studying to be an office worker and be successful. Now I'm only do it to have something I can use to get a job if everything goes wrong. At least that could help me manage my future game company too  Thanks to change my life, indie games. For good  |

I'm aware of student aid existing, but that doesn't contradict with what I said: If you're not in a stable environment, other things are going to take precedence to the point of overriding concerns such as planning out your future. |
