i think we didnt need to go to college to get success.many people who didnt finish college are still successful.but that depends.sometimes a college diploma do give you more chance than a high shcool diploma.it is said that college graduates earn more than those who have just a high school diploma.but i dont think so.everyone has his own chance,all you need to do is to grasp it. college is maybe one of the sources of success,for someone,but it is not the only one.

Succes is not determined by knowledge,but ultimately the amout of work you put into whatever you want to succeed in...A wise man once said some of the smartest people are "behind bars"

yes, agree, with knowledge and experience, but without any work done, we are not going anywhere. but with knowledge, we'll get there in a shorter time, we'll have choices to pick from read as much as you can. it's better to learn from other people mistakes, than to only learn from your own mistake. however, if you try to finish reading all of the books available, hahahah, it's like waiting for all of the traffic light to turn green, you won't be able to reach your destination.

No, but college does increase your chances significantly in my opinion.

Yeah, maybe, I just wonder why Bill Gates is the richest man in the world and he's a Harvard dropout.

College may equal success for one person, but not the next. For me I felt I had to go to college to be successful and now I've gone I still am trying to reach for success. If I can hold success completely in my hands I have failed somehow because reaching for success is what keeps me going.

I don't think that you have to go to college to succeed, but I think you definitely greatly improve your chances of success by going to college. I'm sure you can still be successful without going to college, but it would probably be more difficult, and getting a degree will open up more opportunities and way more options.

yes and no. No you don't have to go to college to succeed. but yes, you need to invest time and money in education. in my opinion, you need alot of things/skill/attitude to become successful. and yes not all of us are that lucky, and are born with a whole set of things/skills and attitude to be successful. but trust me, knowledge, experience and your own motivation is very very very important. once you got that, you'll be able to train yourself to have all the skills needed to be successful. from then on, you'll sail your own ship. you're the captain, you choose your destination. Good luck~~~~

No need to go to college to become sucess.Sucess is not at goal if you reach one it will change so success depends on individual thought and one who never to college had got success i his field. First know in which field you wnat to get succeed then realize whether you have to go to college or not. Any how going college is really nice and you can enjoy your life and you can learn what's life is as you exposer to many people from different locales. And at that our brain and body starts growing.So don't miss the chance if your in already or if you want to go.
