Believer
After reading the article, I can agree with some things mentioned such as college not being cut out for everyone. Some people may have all the opportunities and requirements for college, but chose another route. I do believe skills are important and that everyone college or no college should be open to learn multiple skills. Recieving a degree and having a "white collar" job does not make anyone smarter or better than a high school graduate going into "blue collar" jobs. Many time people set goals for their futures and not everyones goal is to get into a university. Just as in the article, Keegan Abendschoen has made himself successful through a skill. Although it wasn't stated, he probably planned and set goals for himself so that he could expand his business and create something of his own.Honestly, many people in college who have earned their degree sometimes go into something else that has nothing to do with what they have been working for in a matter of years. Sometimes a skill can get you further than a degree. What ever suits the individual is the best way to go. Don't single out college as the best way to get an education, open your mind to understand that other things; training programs, institutes, etc. are just as valuable. Its what you make it that determines your success.
