I went to a couple years of college and then stopped. I got way into meditation and eventually started to teach that professionally. I make a decent living, own my home outright, and am very comfortable. I only work about twenty five hours a week.
As I got older though I have thought that if I could go back I would to get a degree in theology. I feel like my level of success in life is way less than it would be had I stayed in college and I would have been able to accomplish way more in this field with that degree and connections that come with it.
I admire the traits I see in people with advanced degrees.
I came from a blue collar family and did not really know the doors that are opened for college graduates and the benefits that come from it on a personal level.
