Not everyone equipped for but this but if you do go to college try to make sure you move out of town and possibly out of your city.
If you are too close to home you don’t change and you don’t learn.

Bill Gates famously dropped out of college and so did Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg.

So why spend so much on college to get an education if you have enough smarts to start your own business and make money. After all, isn’t that what college is for?
