if you decide to go to school I would advise 2 things to you.

1. don't go with the idea that you'll graduate and be instantly making the big bucks. ex: the avg. Business major grad makes $32K per year. and you can get a job as a firefighter, garbageman, cop, a damn sales person just about anywhere.
2. don't waste your $$$ on a big name school. studies have shown that it dosen't matter if you went to Harvard or KSU the same degree generally yeilds the same pay.
Yea man, believe me i've heard the EXACT same stories. I had a friend that worked at Carmax, and one of his co-workers graduated from State with a degree in Bio or Chemistry or something along those lines, and the dude was still working at Carmax, wtf?! And yes i have plenty of friends from high school that are making LOTS of money

O and believe me, I do not have the mindset at all that i'll graduate and be Mr. Fucking Big Baller and shit. For some reason my parents think that, and i'm pretty sure most peoples parents think that ? I dunno if it's b/c we're immigrants and they THINK my degree is gonna come with a bonus check in it or what, lol.

And again, i also completely agree with your number 2. It's all about the drive you have. If you graduated and keep "hustling" and working and trying to make a name for yourself, then you're eventually gonna do it. But if, let's say you graduate from Harvard, and expect people to just drop off job offers and shit like that at your door, your mistake. It's all about your inner "hustle"
