Maybe they would have been even more successful if they went to college?

The fact that someone succeeded without going to college says something good about them but it doesn’t necessarily follow that colleges are bad or that they’ve succeeded because they didn’t go to college.

My point is you don't need to go to college. I consider myself to be successful and this guy is definitely making much more than I am.

If college is worth it for everyone, why is there such a need for student loan forgiveness. If anything the market is self correcting since more and more people are skipping college entirely.
