For years and years we've been taught that, as a normal process of life, we ''must'' go to college and get a diploma to ''be somebody'' in life to make a living. However, at the same time it becomes more and more common an abundant number of people who dropped out of college or didn't even go to college and have been greatly successful in their lives and many have even changed the way we work think, act, behave and proceed in our modern lives (Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Richard Branson or Jim Rohn to mention some examples).
All these examples, and given the higher and even higher cost of the formal education, we might wonder:
Is it really necessary to go to college? Does that still work? Is it a waste of time?
It's going to depend on what you wanna be, the purpose you have for your life. First of all, it is a Must that you find out what you're passionate about, what you truly love. Nobody has been successful doing something they hate, unfortunately almost 90% of people (with or without college degree) work at jobs they hate. So, all this being said, you can't decide a path, career, business or job because it is the thing that's giving money. WRONG!. That's a fatal mistake people make and have been making for centuries. Choose what you love, and I can guarantee you're gonna be willing to learn, read and deepen on that career, business or craft you decided to take. In the end you do greatly the thing you enjoy , what you're passionate about, the thing you vibrate with.
Nevertheless, If you want to specialize in something, study something specific, it can be much more cost-effective and practical taking courses, seminars and workshops related to what you want to do than spending 4, 5 or even 7 years at college studying a number of topics that from the very begining you know you won't use.
However, if you want to be an entrepreneur, be the owner of your life, be an investor, financially free, a leader, it is not neccesary to go to college. Reading books, findig a mentor, taking seminars, webinars, workshops, being disciplined, being different than the crowd, finding the right partners and the right way will guarantee you success. Follow your passion understanding that there's gonna be obstacles and stumbling blocks. With all that in mind you need to remember that more important than the money, you have your ideas. Ideas are the name of money in the 21st century.
In my case I went to college, and graduated at the age of 21, it was good. But I can tell you that it is not an obligation to go to college to succeed, of course if you want to be a doctor (which is much more like a ministry to me) lawyer or engineer you have to go to the university, but if not, It is not necessary.
The most important thing here is; if you went to college, go forward as long as you enjoy it, be the best. If you wish to go to college, find your passion and always focus on being the best. If you don't want to go to college , take tools and courses that can be more effective than it. If you didn't go to college , don't pay attention to what people say about those who didn't finish it, you have an abundant world full of opportunities.
