When was in high schoo people told me that in order for me to make lots of money I needed to have a college degree. I do agree with them initially, but as someone gets more experience and works harder that person usually ends up surpassing the others with degrees. Now here I sit at the university of Washington campus, my friend from church is graduating. I know that he will do great and if he doesnt allow his degree to get in the way from giving his all to his job, I am sure he will be succesfull beyond measure.  Nothing beats experience and hard-work. Look at Bill Gates and Jobs.
