You can never tell how well off somebody is by looking at the things that they own.
I know a multimillionaire who takes the bus, and I know plenty of people who drive amazing cars that struggle to get by.
Pushing a 6 figure whip is meaningless, a lot of people just feel the need to project a successful image and are willing to ruin themselves financially in order to do so.
Plenty of people get rich after going to college, and plenty of people get rich after dropping out.
A degree isn't going to make or break you when it comes to being successful.
If you're willing to work towards something everyday, you'll get there one day regardless of your level of education.
Precisely.
And to the guy who mentioned going to a CC… He couldn’t be more right. If you have no idea what you want to study, those first two years at a $20K+ college are almost a waste (aside from the social aspects of a 4-year university). I know in my county in MD, if you have a 3.5 in HS and go to the local community college and maintain a 3.0 you get guaranteed admission and an almost full-scholarship to any public in-state school. I know kids graduating from College Park who’s total tuition cost was like $10K.
