<p>The thing is college costs like $200,000 total. And if you just moved to some place that isn’t very expensive and got a cabin you could be happy forever and not work at all. All you need is a cabin and a boat. That’s what I want to do.</p>
<p>I’ll take a 50% chance of getting a decent job over 1% chance (with not going to college) any day. And I’ve been in the workforce long enough to know how that goes, which is why I’m in college now.</p>
<p>I only really read the first line, but I just have to say that a smart person =/= a risk averse person. A smart person is someone who weighs the risks, but still takes some anyway, because without risk life would be really boring and cushy</p>
