Outside this business, I only know 3 people that do well without a college degree. All 3 are laborers, one works for himself - most of the time, the other two just have decent jobs working on machines at factories.
Current friends (outside industry), I'm the only one without a college education. Two of them make more money than I do, one makes more than most of us combined together.

that is a specific group of friends with mine it is the complete opposite. i have friends who LEFT school because of contacts they made throughout high school and friends who got them into the oil industry and are now making more by having the experience 4 years later compared to this kids who went to school.
i bet you the average business owner is not college educated, they are business driven and have a money making mindset and that is why they are successful has nothing to do with school.

being self driven has nothing to do with being college educated.
