In case you missed the point to my post, college does not guarantee success any more than not going to college guarantees failure.

Weight-lifting does not guarantee strength any more than atrophy guarantees weakness, right?
As to my level of exposure to a "great many people", I've had, and continue to have, plenty.
It's complete nonsense to believe that a person has an equal chance of making a $100K+ salary with or without a college education.
I assist clients in, among other things, buying and selling businesses, both privately- and publicly-owned. In my experience there ARE people who are successful with just a high school diploma. It is also my experience that there are MANY MORE successful people who have post-high school educations.
College, I agree, is not for everyone.
Best of luck.
