  1. Do but make wise choices.

  There’s plenty of worthwhile fields out there that require College Education. Those are wise choices. There’s also plenty of fields and degrees out there that are poor investments for your time or money. Avoid those.

    Also be smart about where you do go. Don’t pay Ivy League prices for less than Ivy League education/networking. Take as many courses as you can at a community college, stay in state (usually cheaper), live with family while studying if you can, have a part time job that doesn’t interfere with your education (or even has enough downtime to work on schoolwork).
