I understand why a college degree may seem attractive and you surely learn something while studying for it. But I personally have never seen a need for it. I dropped out of highschool myself, studied programming on my own, got jobs; lea

Well, thank you for putting people in boxes. One can have a considered opinion and still think that playing the "race card" is despicable. Try not to be so single-minded.
