Case in point - Rush Limbaugh. He’s very successful, yet no college degree.
College is a waste for most people. Peruse Facebook photo albums of the college kids you know...Not a lot of “book learnin’” going on there.
The sad thing is that many people quit reading books once they finish formal education. They quit growing. The best thing to learn early on in school is the ability to read and comprehend. If a person can master reading, education becomes a lifelong pursuit. However, all the book learning is useless if it isn’t applied to building life experiences.
