- the majority of people who don't, end up manual labourers, like my father, even though he's a brilliant man

- my father is dying slowly and painfully, because he's been doing the same thing since he dropped out of highschool, that is, drywall/construction/painting, etc.., and it is extremely terrible for your health, especially when you've got heart problems, asthma, and other various medical conditions to begin with

- it is far easier to get a job that uses your brain rather than your body if you've bothered to go on to college, or wherever, to obtain an education

- having an education will give you a lot of confidence that you may not have, regardless of your level of intelligence, if you work in the same, physically draining field forever

- even if you work like a fucking dog for your entire life and sacrifice all that you are to support a family and yourself, manual labour rarely results in a lot of cash, especially for people like my dad, who gets screwed around constantly by other people who also have shit jobs, and don't recognize one of their own

- money is not worth dying for.. go to college, get a god damn education, learn some skills somewhere

- also, it's best to get an education when you're young, before you have it in your head that you won't be good at anything that uses brain over braun

- last but not least, it is never too late.. people do start getting a formal education when they're in their 40s, 50s even, honestly, and these people are wise and respected for doing so

It is possible to get a good job without an education, and if you can, by all means, do so. If not, there are so many good reasons to get an education, find yours, and go for it.
