I'm a high school drop out and thanks to crypto I'm retired.

Are you really retired, or just not working for now?

Done! Bought a few thousand btc early on, sold at 250 and 1000 and have retired since.
I have a few properties, a healthy bank account and a few old school cold wallets put away for safe keeping! Wink

For all intensive purposes I've retired. I do however maintain 3 rental properties that I own, some people call that work. I call it living!

Viva la Bitcoin and Cloakcoin!

If you weren't a high school drop out you would realize the phrase is "intents and purposes" not intensive purposes.

The problem with ignorant, uneducated people is they don't know they are.

Oh I'm sorry, how about you crawl back under the darkcoin bagholding rock you came from.

Explain to me what it's like to wear your ignorance as a badge of honour. I have a pet guinea pig. I'm sure he thinks he's pretty clever. Is that the case with you? Do you honestly believe it? Deep down you must realize that you failed at the most remedial task expected of a first world participant. How does feel to know that you are most likely the dumbest person on this forum?

I find it quite fascinating. It's like watching a chimpanzee try to paint.

My diploma certainly helped me get the job I have now, but I don't earn as much as you would expect in the field (which is why I'm not pursuing a higher level degree; a guy I work with has his Master's and he barely gets paid more than I do). I'd much rather go in business for myself so I can control my own output and influence my own intake.

well, i have a knack for numbers and visualizing "big picture" systems, 3d modeling, etc. mechanical engineering was a natural course for me, and there's no way i could be where i am now without having gone to school.

not saying i couldn't have made more money elsewhere, but i'm also not sure how i would have done it, either.

I could understand mechanical engineering as that's a very specific field but 3D Modelling you could have picked up on your own, there are thousands of tutorials out there on it, I'm getting back into it again now that I'm improving my 2D art.

Edit: Oh wait, I just realised, mechanical engineering probably includes 3D like architecture stuff doesn't it? Tongue

I think you need the right degree if you are to really earn more then if you didn't go to college. If you get a degree in history or art then you are going to make much less then even a high school drop out. If however you get a degree in finance or a law degree then you will likely earn much more then if you did not go to college.

Sir Richard Branson and Warren buffet, are proof you do not need a stinking diploma, when you make bank like that you can just buy the university of your choice Grin

I can entertain the notion that a degree is not particularly important, in the scheme of things. But this is a really weak argument. No one here is going to wake up tomorrow and work themselves up to being Warren Buffet.... Roll Eyes

Why not?

Apparently a lot of members don't think you really earn more money because you went to college, think you do earn more money in some fields or because people know you are likely to have some qualities associated with a college degree but if a lot of students made a bad deal going into huge debts and spending years to get a worthless degree

No you are taught that you will earn money because you have a fancy degree but most companies prefer experience honestly a little piece of paper doesn't go very far when there are millions with that piece of paper.

Those are exceptions. For the vast majority of people, education is very important in one way or another. Not everyone will benefit from a college degree, but you can't just say that people shouldn't go to college so that they'll become rich.

Simple answer is no.

Your just taking a chance like everyone else.

That's not the case. Not everyone has the same intelligence or ambition. Some will be more successful than others given a college education.

You wont be successful if majority took the same route. I say chance like a lotto ticket because its not a guarantee to a job.

But you`ll have to pay $20k thats for sure certain. Keep in mind, that you cant or erase for file a chapter 7 bankcruptcy on student loans, so people planning not to pay back good luck with that.

And by the time you made your money in a white collar job, your not really enjoying esp when your old as hell.

You mind as well take that route though, if you dont have a plan to make some real money. People settle for whatever, some people settle for $30,000 per month its up to the person.

What does old have to do with anything?

The guys have the money but the reason they don't get to enjoy their money is because 99% of them are married to women and the women are the ones who get to enjoy the money. A lot of white collar professionals out there with money-spending wives and four kids who would be happier if they had remained a bachelor and spent their money on cars, boats and hot escorts.

Quite a statement; the bachelor life is fun but a bit empty, building things on the "long term" is more difficult thus more interesting

Stability and children do bring happiness with the correct state of mind and conditions

That's a sad outlook on life. I would have more money if I didn't have a family, but there's no way I'd make that trade. What's the point in having a lot of money if you don't have someone to share it with?
