That realization about college debt hit me at 28

I was 28, sitting in my truck after hooking up a new panel for a remodel in Phoenix, and it hit me that my buddy with a useless business degree was still paying off loans while I owned my shop outright. Turns out, apprenticeship programs and trade school cost me maybe $3,000 total, and I've been earning solid money since I was 21. Has anyone else here looked back at their college decision and realized they dodged a bullet by leaving early?

Preach, dodged a 50K bullet by bailing sophomore year.

Didn't you feel way better making that call though?
