College is a good thing but not for everybody. There are plenty of examples of people that have done very well for themselves and they didn't have a degree.
The richest man in the world, Bill Gates, never finished at Harvard ( I think it was Harvard if I remember correctly. If not, someone correct me.)
I'm not saying this to say don't go to college or go and don't finish; only that just because you don't have a college degree doesn't mean you are necessarily f*cked in the game of life.
There are plenty of careers where people make anywhere from good to excellent money that don't require a 4-year degree or Masters degree.
Now, many of these well-paying careers DO require some specialized training, education, or knowledge in order to enter them.
For example, in the I.T. (computers) field, there are alot of jobs that don't require a bachelor's degree although some of them do require a 2-year degree and some of them you can get into without any degree.
To get into I.T., you may be able to get a job based on your knowledge or experience with computer systems or you may need to take some special courses or obtain a certification in a particular area like networking or PC repair.
Other careers, like automotive repair, heating and refrigeration repair, etc. can also be quite lucrative careers.
Anyway, a career (in the true sense) to me is something that a person can get a sense of satisfaction and pleasure from doing because they are doing what they truly want to do or enjoy doing.
For example, a true writer enjoys writing even if they aren't getting paid for it (although getting paid for your work makes it sweeter).
A job is something you do purely for money and not because of your personal enjoyment of it per se.
As of this post, right now I have a job (which pays the bills) but I am building my career on the side and as my career grows, I will transition from a full-time job to a part-time job (as my side business income grows) until finally I am able to live and support myself financially from doing what I WANT to do.
Now I will turn to the topic of women and playing games.
On this site, there have been many posts over the years about game; how to improve your game, learn some game, etc.
In my opinion, learning game and improving your game are great and are helpful in getting sex and relationships.
See, alot guys have learned how to get laid or learned how to get a girlfriend or even a wife and they think that their game is complete.
After all, isn't the whole purpose of improving your dating and social skills geared to help a man get women.
The problem I've seen on this site with alot of guys over and over again is that most people on this forum focus on offense and not enough defense.
Okay, so you followed all the steps to getting laid or getting a girl and now it has happened, you actually got a woman.
Now what?
Once the initial thrill of getting laid wears off and you start to settle in to day-to-day life dealing with this woman, what then?
Most of the guys that come to this site don't have a clue what to do at that point.
That is because they were taught how to GET a woman but no one taught them how to HANDLE a woman and that's where the problem starts.
This is why you have guys who wind up making the same mistakes over and over and then create posts like, "I'm trying to get over this chick, what should I do?"
Or, "My GF that I had met at a club when I was drunk 2am. in the morning cheated on me with my best friend, WTF?" .........................and other posts like that.
Alot of these problems could have been very easily avoided if the guy knew how to do two things: 1) Know how to correctly SCREEN each woman he meets and quickly discard the wrong ones 2) Know how to manage your relationship with a woman (assuming the guy did step #1)
Guys should clue each other in what to look for in a QUALITY female because 99% of these "woe is me" posts are because of not following the two steps I just listed above.
I'm in my 30's and I've learned alot of lessons from my own errors and mistakes (and I've picked up some good advice and tips along the way).
Most of the mistakes, heartaches, and bewilderment that I went through was not because I lacked offensive skills (gotta love the sports terminology).
I could score but my defense wasn't very good so even though I got girls I still had problems and sometimes I thought I had a good chick and I learned later that the chick was nothing but a b*tch that wasn't worth sh*t.
I understand the anger and frustration that alot of men go through because I've been through it too and it does hurt and it can mess with your confidence and sense of self.
I've learned that if my defense (screening out the wrong women and correctly managing my relationships with the better ones) is good enough, my offense pretty much takes care of itself.
If your defense is strong, you don't need to worry about techniques and all that technical stuff.
All you need is a woman that is compatible with your personality and lifestyle and then know how to handle her.
That's the main thing to focus on.
