I think she means $5k per month, which isn't anything to brag about really it's pretty much the average wage here in Australia. To the OP, I would say it depends. Think about what you plan on doing in 5-10 years from now. Do you need a degree to make that happen? It's great that you are motivated and want to be the one employing people, but it takes a lot more then just being a good programmer to make that happen.
@mike323 No, I go to college because everyone around me want's me to go. Not because I want to learn to make money to survive. I can earn enough to support myself. My dad gets 800$/month or something like that and we have what it takes to survive. I'm not saying it's enough, I'm saying that I ca make at least as much as him, so I don't need a diploma to survive. I don't need a diploma to stat my own business. @coldmoon I kinda know that, but if that would be the reason to remain in college, I think I'll pass. @PamelaOrton I want to help my family buy appartments in my town. It's a universitary center and I know we can earn a lot by renting them on the long term. That's the reason I want to quit this college so hard. @rajesh.ejob A teacher asnwered my question on yahoo answers. She said that it's important to know the people that will become great in the future, apart from the education. That is true, but I have to disagree with you when it comes to education. We learn to be good tools, as ErikJ says. I read a lot at home. I read self help books and psihology and I am doing my best to become a better human being, but maths are totaly unpractical... But you are right, there are a few things that could be useful from college. @BrandonSolutions Could you tell me more about your personal experiance? @dcristo You are totaly right. It takes so much more to be able to employ people, and I know that. What I also know is the fact that any training regarding management of human resources or anything related to what might help me become a better leader are missing from my college. They teach us to become programmers and with a bit of luck, good software designer. PS: long post, sorry for my grammer.
I've reached a conclusion. College sucks. It does not show you to many things, it does not teach you how to earn your living, and it's not something really practical. However, being so bad, and demanding a lot out of me I am sure it will make me stronger. You know the saying, "whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger". College will make me learn how to manage my time in such a productive way that I will be able to learn for it, hang out with friends and my lovely girl, keep up with my business plans and much more. To be honest, if it wasn't for college, my life would be to easy. Like this I know that I will learn how to pe a real manager of my life, making me more suited for the work of my field. So, in conclusion, I will look at college as I look at high school. I see both as games to make you realise how to live in a smart way. Thank you all for your ideas and suggestions. I will do both. I will start my own business and keep going to college. Today I had a serious partial exam at math, and I think I'll pass it . All the best, Vlad PS: I never knew that this general chat section of the forums would be so interesting!
I would advice you to continue your education and then decide on your career. Its always safe. In the future, if you are not qualified for a job, just because you don't have the degree, you will repent. Try to avoid that.
