This is NOT to say college is without merit.
There are many cases were focus on college and persevering it will increase your opportunity.
Just was not how my life played out.
My brother followed the same path as me.
Ended up with a Bachelor's from NJIT and I really find it hard to regret my decisions considering what he's gone through with that degree.
