[quote=kananumpua]Reading the sad stories in the "If only I had gone over to say 'hello' " thread has led me to wonder if I am taking life too seriously. Everyone says that your college years are the best years of your life. I would have to strongly disagree with that statement, school is TOUGH. I'm only hoping that if I stick out these years that it will pay off later. My father assures me that it will. What if tomorrow never comes for me, will I have wasted my life? What if..... what if.... what if..... etc. I hope that once I finish my degree and gain some real experience I will be able to travel (via sailboat) to where help is needed and help whoever build infrastructure or whatever it is they may need. I pray that I never get stuck in the "rat race". I never want to work everyday so that I can afford the newest Benz or get my cell implanted out of necessity.

Ok rant off


I think a college education is very important... I only went to a 2-year jr college, and regret it to this day... That being said... you don't have to go get a job... punch a time clock everyday for the rest of your life if you don't want to....
There is a book called "Rich Dad Poor Dad, byRobert Kiyosaki (may not be correct spelling)... it will give you an idea about making your money work for you instead of working for your money... Sure you may need to work and save a bit... for seed money... or so you aren't poor.... college is good for a background... but I believe it's important to do what you enjoy, and if you can make money at it you're lucky...
