People have been conditioned since elementry school to the idea that you have to go to college. My parents neither went to college and nor did any of my aunts and uncles on my father's side of the family. Yet All my uncles work in some form of trade with my father running his own appliance bussiness hes been doing since the end of high school.Sidewayzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00103266774535257819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975294428542817904.post-45320019497880358192011-03-03T14:50:16.480-05:002011-03-03T14:50:16.480-05:00How many destitute people have you known?

I've had friends who have had to move in with distant relatives and who have had to take out tens of thousands worth of loans to attend college and pursue their dreams each year. People who have not spent an unnecessary penny since their birth.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18168771439176917899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975294428542817904.post-70669450588172031352011-03-03T14:35:17.929-05:002011-03-03T14:35:17.929-05:00Also a full time college student.

Then through the use of credit they acquire these possesions and are then sat with the interest on these items for a number of years. While if they did not try and live beyond their own means of personal income the ratio would not be as large as it is now.
