[QUOTE="Vermilion Slim, post: 1523002, member: 588137"] Two points that I think need to be considered in the “value of college” sub-conversation going on here: [LIST] [*] Times have changed and going back to college when you are in your 30s and 40s is no longer that unusual. Working at a community college, I see tons of highly capable adults who are retraining after an initial 10-20 year career. People aren’t retiring at 55 anymore :-) [*]In a profession where your earning ability greatly decreases as you grow just a little older, it makes all the sense in the world to forgo college in order to maximize income in the short-term. The big caveat to that is when the college experience can provide you with better coaching and brand development (free marketing) than you’d otherwise get in a developmental league or overseas.
