Attending a "prestigious," college usually means that you NEED to make it. I use to pressure my own self into a mental state that, "I need to achieve in life... a career, a business, something that shows my valor, my intellect." A college degree, I believe, will get you further in a career (or at least an interview),...but getting the interview, that's what college is for! I don't believe that BS saying "it's not what you know, it's who you know." What you know, is equally important as to who you know, because if you don't know diddly squat, who you know will laugh you away. To clear up any presumptions...I'm a college dropout that passed on going to SFSU, because I didn't want to go back to the bay area, but if I could change it...hmmm college degree or criminal record. (easy choice)
