College for most people is a dream, for others its goal and for some a privilege. Some of the most successful people we know are college dropouts, and a lot of people have questioned the importance of a college education in today’s day and age with information at your fingertips. The translatable skills acquired in college and how it translates into today’s rapidly changing economy has seen the relevancy of a college education called into question.  So it begs the question do you need college to succeed? or do you need an education at all. I for one am a strong advocate of a formal education, but in today’s world you need more than an education to get by. A strong sense of direction, lots of personality and clear vision and goals. Because ultimately our passion and emotion fuels us as humans and wherever that takes us becomes our path. College or not you find your passion you find your way.
