Is College Even Necessary Anymore To Be Successful?
We used to believe that a four-year degree was required to be successful in life, but with the growing number of college dropouts who go on to start billion-dollar companies, we’ve gotta ask: Is college even necessary anymore?

First, a few caveats. College is certainly necessary if you have a specific vision for a career that requires a degree. If you want to be a doctor or a lawyer, then yes, go to college. I don’t know about you, but if I’m getting brain surgery, then I definitely want a doctor who went to school for 10+ years. There are certain skills that do require some (or a lot) of schooling, and I’m not trying to discount those at all.
