I never attended college because I never saw myself as a smart person, and didnt think I'd fit in, plus I was raised a farmer and only wanted to graduate high school so I could get working for a living. I was raised in a low middle class household and while it seemed like we were always broke, i did have all that i needed and then some. Living that way through my teens did teach me the value of money that most of my other friends that had money and went to college didnt get. At age 18 and tired of being broke, i figured i had nothing to lose and plenty of time to fix it if i did screw up.
25 years of basically working as a real estate investor everyday, (investors know this program,) I'm a self made double digit millionare. I have only a small handful of friends that i can call on a wednesday afternoon to go golfing with me, the rest of my friends that went to college have to wait till the weekend when they can get off of their jobs ( that they mostly all hate with a passion,) and golf with the rest of the 9 to 5 ers. But in their defense, I do feel that i missed out on some sex, drugs, and rock n roll good times. But if i had to go back, I would'nt change a thing. Some of my most costly, and important lessons that i was forced to learn the hard way, college would not have helped me avoid anyway. That being said, I want my kids to go to school, (if they take something that will help them in the world.) I'm by no means knocking college. My Best friend ,( who is really smart, went to college and is doing really well,) says my lack of booksmart education probably is the reason for my success, because no one ever told me that the way i did things was all wrong as far as college professors were concerned. School of hard knocks for me.......
