text: If you want to become rich, now is the best time to do it, but don't expect immediate results. You are more passionate about things than older people, and that is a good thing. That's what gives you drive, but be careful not to gamble and make calculated decisions. I would go to college to educate yourself and learn how to set goals and achieve them(plus, there's a lot of chic's). Most people don't realize that education is actually an act of leisure, in an economic theory way. But there is also higher earning potential. And I mean potential, not a guarentee. My friends didn't go to college, but instead picked up a trade or license(ex: selling insurance...) and they make more than myself who has graduated.
