You chose the major and then didn&#x27;t succeed with it. What does that have to do with college? College is not a guarantee for success and if someone told you otherwise and you believed them then I have a nice bridge to sell you. College is a path like any other. You have to walk that path and make the most of the journey.<p>That said, there was an article on HN a few months ago showing a strong correlation between having a college degree and earning more over a lifetime.
