    Family pushed college as the only possible way for me to lead a happy life and make money.

    The kids from my high school who went into the oil fields are making double my salary.

      I don’t think there’s ever going to be a case for “less education is better,” but I also don’t think more education necessarily leads to higher salaries. It often does, but those are two different conversations in by book.
