College: Is it really necessary?

[Daydreamin]

Throughout my life I've never really knew what I was going to do with my life and I started of college classes here and there. But everytime, I would succeed at subjects I felt of value to me, and the others... I tend to just drop out. I found them to be very closed minded institutions that have this 'one way' of correct thinking and anything other than that was not accepted. I felt like a quitter and society made me feel like I was lazy, when in reality if I don't believe in something, I won't do it-- simple.

Now I have found my passion in life, which is permaculture design and reforestation, and don't see a need for a college degree. I'm a great self teacher and am taking video classes and once I'm done with that, take a hands on design course. I feel some pressure from others saying it's a 'wise' decision to have a college degree, so I would like to hear others' advice and experiences in regards to the necessity of college.

No it's a joke and I am glad I graduated w/ a degree from Mizzou in Finance and minors in Poly Sci, Sociology, & Spanish just so I can speak from experience that colleges have OFFICIALLY priced themselves out of importance. I 'was' headed to law school to be a lawyer to be a Politician to 'change the game' but I was done w/ the b.s. schooling and didn't want more debt.


It is a joke that we don't do apprenticeships and we all waste so much time and energy on meaningless b.s.
