Regarding the tremendous financial sucess that some people have without degrees:

The two wealthiest people that I know personally where I live, have no degrees. One, took a huge risk early in life and it paid off. Bright guy who insists that his kids go to college. He regrets not going.

The other is as sharp as a bowling ball. Owns a big company and doesn't pay his workers crap. Acts poor while on the job, but goes home to his million dollar house and his wife with bad teath and a new $60,000 tile job in the kitchen.

You can take the girl out of the trailer, but not the trailer out of the girl.

My wife is extremely bright and hard working. She constantly gets me at things and kills me at scrabble. She dropped out early from college as the home situation was poor. I have a degree from a top university and, until about a year ago, earn with benefits five times what she makes. Although, she is catching up quickly recently. I think this is great.

Why has she done better $ over the last year? Because she took a risk and went into a full-comission job. At her rate of increases each month, she will be earning half what I do by the end of the year.

If you don't have the paper, you have to take a risk.
