My parents excommunicated me for not going down the path they laid out for me which included college. Whatever.

Instead I moved out at 17, ended up homeless, kept going, started a few companies, got a few tech jobs, started another company, and ended up more financially successful than anyone in my extended family without crippling college debt.

Let parents flip tables. Only go to college if employers in your ideal profession strictly requires college, and only if you have a scholarship or the means to pay for it without debt.
