    What do you really want to know? ....Do you need a college education to succeed?

    If we go by the scientific method of "evidence", the answer to this question would be "No". You'll find MANY successful people who have no more than a high school education and many who didn't even make it to high school. They just happen to have common sense, street smarts and the deep-gutted "know how" to apply it.

    But also, you'll find MANY successful people who do have a college education. This is the prevailing generally-accepted belief we have in this society.

    On the flip side of the same coin, you'll find BOTH college educated and non-college educated people who are continually swimming in failure.

    This evidence suggests that the biggest determining factor of success would be the INDIVIDUAL.


    1. How clear of a vision the individual sees of his goals. [What he wants...Focus]

    2. How well the individual filters-out and absorbs information related to his goals. [His options to get it]

    3. How well the individual applies this information to achieve his goals. [His chosen path]

    4. How disciplined is he to direct his daily actions toward his goals. [Can he stay the path?]


    A college education falls somewhere between # 1 and 2.
