Because time is money. Money that you are not earning and time that you are wasting whilst treading water in the schooling system giving them your parents money. (That is the schooling systems business see...)

My parents paid for my education too and I went because they wanted me to as well, just like you are doing. Unless you are going to be a Doctor or a Lawyer etc. school is largely a waste of time as you will probably never actually use what you learn there.

If you started making money today and kept accumulating wealth and compounding it the entire time you plan on spending in school, what do you think your financial statement would look like at that same point and time in the future when you are done with school and have no assets?

time is definetely money, and most people waste their time in school for something that has little or no bearing in life. Half the time they're buried in student loans they can't even repay.

my belief, unless you're an engineer or sorts(something that requires EXTREME expertise)....doctor or lawyer, then school is a joke. The other exception being those who are going to top 20 schools w/ a 4.0 GPA that can get recruited by all the top business firms.
even then, they still have to deal with the bullshit corporate world.

i believe you can make money in any industry you are in and be successful financially if you find the correct niche. It's just a matter of how much you want it and how far you take it. Some careers/industries easier and quicker than others

not saying you should. a degree is a good thing, just in case, to have especially if your parents are paying your way.

right now, with the way my industry is...i kind of wish i had a degree. i could have gotten a 4.0 in school i was interested (in fact, when i planned on being a lawyer...i did, and then i just fucked around after i decided i didnt want to wait till 26-27 to start seeing any money)

i appreciate your advice, but it just isnt something i can take, in terms of not going through schooling.

this is exactly one of the things iv been looking into. i visited a friend recently who works out with an ex college strength coach who now trains on his own mostly for up and coming highschool athletes, and some college athletes train with him over the summer too. his job was fucking amazing to me and im going to hopefully be talking with him more, and if everything works out in my favor, doing an internship with him.

i didnt play any football in highschool or college though and im wondering if thats something that will have me taken less seriously when it comes to athletic strength coaching

subz, lummy is friends with UMD's previouis strength coach who is now a Strength coach a Harvard for the last 2 yrs. In fact, when the guy was still at UMD, lummy and I went and visited the training facilities that the athletes use. it was pretty fuckin awesome. all of their equipment (benches, racks, plates, etc) were all red lol

All sports need strength coaches. Don't assume football is the only option.
