<p>The daughter of a friend of mine went to a creative school in NYC and left after a year to work full-time in her area. She makes six-figures and gets to travel moderately and was asked by her school to teach a course in her area of expertise. I don’t know if she will bother to finish her degree.</p>
<p>His other daughter, a real high-school slacker, went to community college for two semesters and then signed up with some kind of certificate program at a local hospital and they hired her after she finished it and is making pretty good money now.</p>
<p>Two kids without degrees doing pretty well.</p>
