I can understand that. I dropped out of college my junior year, and decided that experience in the workforce would be enough. For a long time, it was. Then I got to a ceiling where I couldn't go any further without a college degree. I went back at night and eventually got my bachelors in business management. Of course, I'm talking about corporate America and it's probably much different than smaller businesses et cetera. However, after receiving my bachelors I more than doubled my annual income. It made an enormous difference in my life. All that said, I learned more from my practical experience than I ever did from my bachelors. For me, college was more about learning independence, how to manage my money, and how to create long-lasting friendships. My eventual degree was more or less a way to check a box on an application.
