With the high price of college, many kids wonder if it is worth going to college. Kids are pushed with the fact that they will never be successful without a college degree, but is this true? There are several successful and wealthy people that do not have a college degree. Along with this there are many jobs that require no college degree, that pay better than jobs that require a college degree.
Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, and Bill Gates are just some of the very successful people that never received a college degree. Steve Jobs was the co-founder, CEO and chairman of Apple. When Steve Jobs died he had a net worth of 10.2 billion dollars. Mark Zuckerberg is the co-founder of Facebook and the Meta platform, and has a current net worth of 47.2 billion dollars. Finally, Bill Gates is the co-founder of Microsoft and is currently worth 102.1 billion dollars. These men are just some examples of several people that didn’t receive a college degree, but still went on with their life to be very successful and wealthy. They did this by being smart with their money, and being patient with the process to success.
Many people who don’t receive a college degree become successful by inventing a new product or becoming an entrepreneur, however, you don’t have to invent something to be successful. People can work an ordinary job but still become very wealthy and happy. One job that fits this description is an electrician. Someone can receive the education they need to become an electrician by working with an experienced electrician or by completing a simple apprenticeship. This person can go on to start their own electrical company. However, there are risks to starting your own company, and the business owner must be careful of their spendings to make sure they don’t spend more than the income. Philadelphia Technician Training Institute explains that you can earn a six figure salary as an electrician with a lot of hard work and dedication. This goes for several other trade jobs, as they are in high demand, but not many people work these jobs. Other jobs that include high paying salaries without college degrees include a pilot, real estate agent, wind turbine and oil rig worker, and many more.
All in all, it is possible to earn a big quantity of money and be happy without a college degree. It will take a lot of hard work and dedication though. If a student does not go to college, they do not have to worry about paying for college and can start making money right away. There are many examples of people who have become successful without a college degree, and they motivate more people to be like them. I believe that students should not be told that they won’t be successful without a college degree, for the reason that there are many opportunities to become successful and make large amounts of money without a college degree.
Do you believe you will be more successful with or without a college degree?
Do you think society pushes a college education, explain?

I think you would be more successful with a college degree because you will have more knowledge on the job. But there are somebenifits going to college becuase it's very expensive to get your degree that you want becuase the higher the degree the more money you pay.
I would say that you do not need to go to college to be successful, there are many jobs that you can be successful in that do not require college. A lot of people say that if you don't go to college you cannot be successful, but that is further from the truth. Think of people who are contractors, plumbers, electricians, and construction workers.
I definetly agree, contractors, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, etc., can all be very succesful. To work in this field you do not have to spend tens of thousands of dollars to get the knowledge either. It is all about going to the jobsite and learning from their journeymen.
I believe that you do not have to go to college in order to be successful, but I think that it helps with certain jobs. I think that society tries to push a college education way too much, and they make it seem like you won't be successful without it, but that is not true.
I do believe that you don’t have to have a college degree to be successful, but it does help a little bit in the long run. Most of the jobs like being a carpenter can be very hard on your body in not-so-good ways. There are other jobs that also hurt your body like being a welder or a person who works in a big factory. Although getting a degree can be very helpful in the long run, I do think society today pushes a little too hard on getting a college education. They act as if you are less intelligent than everyone else just because you don’t have a good college education, and I think that that is just not fair.
Society normally does think that someone without a college degree is not smart or unsuccessful, but that usually is far from the truth.
I think you can be very sucessful without a college degree, lots of people dont have degrees and do great things in this world and have a very good job and make lots of money. College may make a lot of people smarter and better but not everyone
Yes, I do belave you can be successful without a college degree. My dad didn't go to college and he is very successful. I think that society does push college on you because they make it sound like you can't be successful but you can be successful.
I think you can definitely be successful without a colloge degree or even going to college. I think society pushes it way to much and it is honestly a waste of money for many people. Kids are in a lot of debt after college typically also. Having a degree helps get you get good jobs but if you know what you want already and love what you do then you are completly fine.
College is a waste of time and money for several people. A very large amount of people work in a field that they do not use their degree for. Getting a college degree also causes large amounts of debt upon alomost all of the people that go to college, and debt is not a good thing to have.
