well said, I agree on both points.

I've heard far too many stories of people who didn't save enough for themselves for retirement and didn't enjoy what they worked most of their lives for.

Also, the statistics are on the side of college grads, but it's not for everyone nor is it any type of guarantee. You really have to make the most of life and keep trying to be successful, whether that's with a college background or not.
