Hey Boraxman!

Although, if you were to take the time and money to become a doctor/lawyer you'd be able to afford a much more expensive home than many of the other options. I agree, though, that the idea of the *need* to go to college is just plain silly.

Unfortunately, the brainwashing in that direction has been around since I was a kid, so it will take awhile to get people to believe that there has always been other viable options. ;)
