College! What do you think?

When I hear people say that they're not going to college it blows my mind. I'm only 20, but I was raised to believe that college is what's going to make your life a successful life. Honestly, I try to think of ways that people could go without college and I just can't. Not unless your husband reassured you to be a stay at home mom and he'll make all the money, but being in your 20's, how are you suppose to know if that will ever even happen. Especially if you're single. I've met so many people who don't want to go to college and I can't help feel bad for them bc later down the road they may suffer bc they didn't. I know so many older adults who have to go back to school bc now there jobs require it. Does anyone else feel strongly about college like I do? Or don't you, and why? I just feel like today you can hardly get a good paying job with an associates degree!
