Yeah should have left the college early. But there is catch with that career path, you need to be strong enough to face the ups and downs that would arise in the future. Dropping out early, doing your own business needs serious guts mate. There are challenges like managing the funds, having real world experiences, need to talk fluently while marketing, having formality all the time and what not. It takes lot of efforts if we are doing that on our own otherwise we could end up with disastrous path. If education is there then we have specific path associated with that educational background and the skills that it is going to teach us. Even some fail in their lives though they acquire good educational background because they lack the necessary guts to implement them in the real world. So yeah there are many paths you could take and all lead to earning money at the end but some give a lot some give nothing.
Well even building a personal business actually has a greater level of difficulty than we think. Maybe we hear a lot of success stories of people who dared to start their career by creating an independent business that they built themselves. But I believe that behind the story of someone's success in doing business there must be many difficult things that are not told to the public.
I still think that education is very important to build a better career in the future. Because even in starting a business we need insight and the insight we can get from the education we have taken will be able to help us to start better.
Education does not guarantee that it will make us successful, but education will bring greater opportunities for us to get success.
