I'm so sick of people telling kids to go to college!!!!! Learn a trade, work hard! Those 2 things will get you a lot further in life than a piece of paper unless your in a niche field!

I have a hand full of friends that have college degrees and make about 1/2 what I do! I make $ the hard way, I earn it. Not saying my way is right, but I know the AA and BA degrees aren't always right also.

Learn a trade, tell the big college corporations to F-off

If you are interested in going to college then do it. An education is always a plus. There will always be cars and trucks in the future. I wouldn't trade my education for anything. It up to you.

+1 on college and throw in another language since you asked,

(Come graduation and a great job, it'll be available in a 10kv battery powered electric moon buggy and you can pay cash money)

Education first.
You will NOT regret it.
My first year out of school I made $250,000; paid off 50% of my school loans, met my future wife, (now ex), bought a Suzuki RM 250, put new wheels/tires on the truck I bought for my brother, (using his money, and saving him $8,000), worked 2,000 hours and learned that my learning was just beginning....
Work hard, do your best, don't settle for anything, and have fun,
Eddie

A pick up truck or knowledge? This should be a pretty easy answer. No one will be able to take away what you learn, a truck on the otherhand is just a truck. Go to school, buy a house then buy a truck.
