I’m seeing a trend with @SEWinter’s posts on various threads which is to say no to BS and college.

Oh well - one should consider how many people with dreams show up on Shark Tank and fail. Yes - there are some people who can start a business with no college experience (grad or dropout). But there do appear to be things one can learn at college to shortcut the path. And there are a host of non academic things a student learns on a campus not always having to do with their degree program.

So when in doubt, get the degree. Although it does not have to be an IVY league degree. There are plenty of good colleges in the US that don’t require you to sell all your internal organs to pay for them.
