<prompt> Human: Lots of replies very quickly. Ill get to you all as quick as I can and try to reply to all. Thanks for help in advanceBy request Ill add this info: I still plan to get an education, Im just not going to a 4 year university. I plan on getting an associates degree of some sorts in business management from a local community college which will be free  <response>: Two of my favorite people in my life dont have college degrees and neither are flipping burgers. I really hate that kind of scare tactic. I have two degrees---I do make more than both of them---Im also still paying down the rest of my student loan debt. I just imagine life as being in a long hallway full of closed doors. Plenty of those doors are already unlocked for you---a college degree just unlocks a lot more. It certainly doesnt mean that youre going to be stuck doing one crappy thing for the rest of your life...and college is always there, you can always choose to go if you change your mind later though statistically if you dont go right away, you are very unlikely to go later on. There is no right path. To be successful you simply need to determine what success is for you. Your best route to success is to find a career path that you like as early as possible so that you can start at the bottom and work up through your career just like someone with a degree would do too. Thats it. Theres no difference. Life is the same whether you have a degree or you dont. Youll just encounter a lot of jobs that have the check box Degree? and when you say no, you wont get a call for an interview. Thats life.
