> fuck college, anyone whos gonna spend $150k+ on school give me the money, ill take $50k for myself and start you a business that makes $150k or more a year.

Coming from someone who spent over 50k on my schooling at Clarkson you would imagine that if it’s as easy as you say it is you’d see much more people going out and starting a business rather then going to school.

Not dissing you, I’m sure you’re doing well for yourself, but I highly doubt starting your own business and being profitable is as easy as you make it out to be.

I went to college, am in a considerable amount of debt and will be over the course of the next ten years or so but I’ll take my job with it’s current benefits (401k w/ match, full health & dental benefits, profit sharing, & endless room for promotions) over the hassle and risk of starting and owning your own business.
