Probably very few... and what you may perceive as success due to a degree, in reality, it was probably just dumb luck or some other personal trait, such as confidence or determination.

Even if they meet the "successful" criterion, they most likely work in Corporate America, which means they are in no way, shape, or form "happy".

How many people do you know that, with no college education, became successful AND are happy with their lives?

Probably a lot more.

And how much is spent nationally on getting college educations? 50 billion? 100 billion? more?


Discuss.
