    Family pushed college as the only possible way for me to lead a happy life and make money.

    The kids from my high school who went into the oil fields are making double my salary.

      Yep… And they don’t have the crippling student debt.

      I don’t think there’s ever going to be a case for “less education is better,” but I also don’t think more education necessarily leads to higher salaries. It often does, but those are two different conversations in by book.
