I love learning and I strongly believe that everyone should get a good education. However I don't think everyone should or needs to get a college degree.
A college degree isnt everything; It's not the be all, end all of careers.
There's so much more to life than going to school.
Do what you love, right now; You'll never be this young again. & I mean that for everyone young or old.
If you want to go to school, then by all means I support that. But its also OK to not go. It's OK to go a different route. If you're passionate about the arts, pursue it. It doesn't require a degree; It requires your soul. People seem to think that going to school gives you the title of whatever you want to be, but it doesn't; It gives you a piece of paper that says you know stuff on that subject.
It by no means makes you an expert.
How about first hand life experience? Don't just sit in a classroom and learn about others doing it, go out and do it yourself!
It's 2014, if you want to be an expert on something all you have to do is look online; Do your own research. All the information you need is at your fingertips. You can Google it, you can search through blogs and forums, find DIY's or how to's. Start your own website using your new found expertise, share your own thoughts and ideas on it, write your own book. If I was a job interviewer that would impress me more than a college degree.
That is something to admire, because along the way you had your ups and downs; Your expertise comes from your trials and errors. That's real and I respect that. It came from you, it's not just something you're reciting from some outdated text book.
I don't need a degree to tell me who I am and neither do you.
You don't need a degree to follow your dreams.
Peace & Love
