The Most Successful People Explain Why a College Degree is USELESS

[dfrecore]

I think the best profession to get into if you want to make good money, and don't want a degree - sales. I've known a lot of sales people who make a lot of money yet don't have degrees. I know a couple who've made more than a million dollars in a single good year. If you're willing to risk it, by taking part of your salary as base (anywhere from 0-50%), and the rest in commission, you can be very successful.

I also know successful business owners of all kinds who don't have degrees. The richest person I know has an electrical contracting company. He started as an apprentice and then went out on his own 2-3 years later. He also worked a gazillion hours a week, and didn't take a vacation for 20 years...

The people in both categories are not dumb, and do value education - it's just that they learn as much as they need to know, and continue doing what they're good at. I actually think this is what most people do in life anyway.
