Whoa....JAMES ALTUCHER'S 8 ALTERNATIVES TO COLLEGE?!

College is difficult, there's lots of work, lots of crazy attitudes, and lots of arrested development issues. There are lots of people who complain about not wanting to be there and how much better it would be if they were at home but most people recognize that not going to college is not a smart thing to do. In today's economy even those with bachelor's degrees are struggling to make ends meet so those without a college degree are very far behind from the jump. One person stands in a sea of confusion and ridiculousness.....JAMES ALTUCHER. This man believes that college doesn't help young people in any way and that there are eight things that are far more important, here's the list

1.  Start a business.
2.  Work for a charity.
3.  Travel the world.
4.  Create art.
5.  Master a sport.
6.  Master a game.
7.  Write a book.
8.  Make people laugh

Yeah this list makes lots of sense! When I am down on my luck and without money I'll make people laugh...no wait...I'm not that funny. I'll travel the wor....wait can't do that without money. I'll create art...nope can't do that either paint is expensive and if you've never been in an art store then your wallet has never cried. I'll master a sport...but where will I play? at the YMCA? nope my membership will be revoke due to my lack of money because I couldn't get a job because....wait for it....I didn't go to college. I could start a business but who's to say it won't run aground due to my lack of economics, business management, and other vital skills that aren't learned on the streets. Writing a book and playing games don't guarantee money and altogether all eight of these alternatives are BALONEY!!! ABSOLUTE PURE BEEF BOLOGNA!!!    This guy has to have some type of growth in his frontal lobe or something because the stuff that is coming out of his mouth shows a lack of understanding and thought about the consequences of his actions. Our country is already full of lazy, super priviliged, undisciplined morons and this guy apparently doesn't understand that. Other countries may not have all the junk we have but they put value in the right places, education, morals, faith... all things our country is abandoning rapidly and without second thought. At some point we have to say things with conviction and own up to the consequences of our words, this guy better be ready to take the fall when America becomes a less than favorable environment for him and other people who actually went to college.  I know that I'm smarter because of all of my schooling including college and I won't let a college graduate (Altucher) stop me from getting what he has and more.
