It is interesting that most of these people already have college degrees, like Mike Rowe, who is always promoting trade schools. I don't have anything against Mike Rowe, but he has a net worth of $30 million, that he didn't earn by being a welder. With a college degree, you will always have more opportunities to get a higher paying job, that does not require hard work, than someone with no degree. Just my opinion.

ACTUALLY i went to college did not finish community one at that. AND I have to say that I have done very well for myself and retired at age 53.......2 years ahead of my goal of 55.............college isnt for everyone and most do not follow in the degrees that they went for. its ALL about HARD work working 2 or 3 jobs if you can and if you want too.......starting EARLY with investing and NOT spending stupidly!!!!!!!!!!
