<prompt> Human: Everybody expects me to sign up for colleges. Even the fucking Advice if you are 15 to 20 years old tab on the side of this subreddit kinda implies that you need to complete your education to make a living. Im near the top of my high school class, which influences my dad who now makes bugger-all, along with my 0-income mom to constantly pry me about my future plans.To be honest, Im scared for my future. What am I going to do? I have a bunch of random talents that impress people but none of them really make me happy. I get high grades in most subjects, but I dont see how I am going to use them. I dont enjoy a lot of things these days so I cant think of anything I want to commit to just yet. Can I live a decent life without going to college? Or is it better to go to college anyways to earn more money. Can I earn the same amount of money even if I dont go to college? I want to hear your opinions and tips on what I should do in the current age of student debt and college near-mandatory college.  <response>: I went to community college for two years right out of high school and dropped out because I was making a good salary in a field that doesnt typically require a degree. Ive done alright since and make way more than I need to. However, if I could do it over again, Id have gone to college and knocked it out. I feel like the next step in my career is limited because of my lack of degreeMBA and at this point, its going to be hard for me to go back. Im only 30, but I have two kids and a demanding job, its possible, but will just take me a long time. TL;DR; Stopped going to college, make a really good living, but wish Id have done it because Its much harder now and limiting my career.
