She makes very good money for a 24 year old. Myself and her, make the same amount, but I work for my father who is the owner of the company. I was actually agreeing with you, just not 100% You can definitely make big money without college, I dont doubt that as I’ve met plenty of really well off people with no college degree. A lot of whether or not you make money without a college degree is luck, like you have a good job working for your parents and theres nothing wrong with that, I’d do the same shit if I could. It is just less likely to be well off without an education is all I’m sayin. ---

it all depends on what people strive for. you can go either ways with a gamble. 1, not go to college and work hard for good money,2- go to college and then work easy for good money… it could turn out either way. everyone has there own opinion, doesnt mean one is greater than the other ---

Its ridiculous how much they make you spend to get a good education that you might not even end up making money with outside of school. ---

2.7, that logic is retarded… you have to work hard either way for GOOD money. You don’t just get handed money because you went to college. If you want to make real money, start a successful business or two or 100. ---
