Pretty sure most millionaires in the US don't have college degrees. College is something that middle class parents tell their kids to do under the impression that it's what's going to make them a lot of money.

I heavily, heavily, heavily, heavily doubt that. You're confusing millionaires and billionaires. Unless the amount of inherited wealth millionaires has now outweighed the amount of from-nothing millionaires.

Professions that all but guarantee six-figure salaries require a college degree. Not everyone can get lucky with a startup idea. The problem is there are only so many of those six figure jobs out there but everyone goes to college expecting one. There are trade schools and community colleges for a reason but every parent seems to push their kid to a four-year institution before that kid even knows what the **** they want to do.

Sometimes I forget people don't understand the lingo we use in Smash. I once got in trouble when my teacher heard me use the word "gimping".

I don't know what the heck she thought it meant, but I didn't feel like explaining it to someone three times my age. I felt awkward enough.

I'm old enough to remember being excited for the BRAND NEW Spongebob Squarepants cartoon, and being distraught that I got grounded on the series premier... :yoshi:

Comments like this make me reminisce... *flashback noise*

People within our age group are old enough to have seen what a life without the Internet looked like firsthand, but also young enough to have grown up with the Internet.

I'm able to remember playing the first Pokémon game (god, people within Pokémon's original target audience are 31 now)
I saw the pilot episodes of most of Cartoon Network's original programming (Dexter's Lab, Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo, etc) when they were new
I was around for the western beginnings of the Pokémon, Digimon and Dragon Ball anime.
I've been excited to play Crash Bandicoot 3 twice

Plus even if we are talking about rich kids who inherent their money they still go to school and years of college. Just more expensive and prestigious schools.

No yeah I mistyped that, you're right. But still, only half of the students who enroll in college actually graduate (I can cite that if you want) and out of that, how many of them really do something with that degree? How many of them are given the opportunity? College in general seems very scammy in the US.
Many many people are told that going to college is the right thing to do but it's a huge commitment that not everyone can handle.
