Topic	As a high school student. Does studying hard only take you so far?
RedPixel 06/17/20 3:21:26 PM #5:	I got a bachelor's in IT and all the stuff I learned could have easily been learned from books and the internet in 2 years instead of 5. I graduated high school in the top 2% of my class with a weighted GPA of 4.5 and didn't get any scholarships I applied for. My parents didn't have a lot of money. At our worst, my wife and I were $78,000 in debt. We worked 4 jobs last year and now we're down to $40,000 because we busted our asses to get there, AND bought a really small house. Picking a focus and sticking to it will get you anywhere. I don't think you need a college degree. <cite>RedPixel posted [p:940816150] in As a high ...
