Some people believe that if you do not have a college degree in the world today, you will not be successful. Research shows that college graduates with a bachelors degree makes 84% more than high school graduates. I do believe education is very important but it is not required to be successful. Steve Jobs (Apple), Walt Disney (Disney), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), and Milton Hershey (Hershey Bars) never graduated college. Some of these famous people didn’t even attend a semester at college.
My dad and my brother did not go to college. My dad owns a Jewelry Store and my brother is a lineman. I know they both do pretty well for not having a degree. A family friend of ours makes well over $100,000 a year and never attended college. He owns a pest control business and he also is a firefighter just for the benefits. It is easier for men to be successful in this world without a degree. Men can go to trade school and learn something hands on and women will be shamed upon for doing that.
In the 25-34 age group, 37.5% of women have a bachelor’s degree or higher, while only 29.5% of men do. I believe that this proves that it is easier to be successful if you are a male. Who knew that some of the most successful people in the world never attended college.
