Why are college and an education necessary to have a good life nowadays?

It just seems like everyone ends up in a business-type environment locked in an office and additionally go through 16 years of being locked up in a school to get a good job and good career? There seem to be a lot of chances for mistakes in school, and a genius, incredibly smart, could in reality just not be cut out for the school-like environment and thus not even make it to the real world to help his fellow man with his knowledge—just because he wasn’t perfect in school and his “grade” didn’t say he was smart.

If this was confusing, sorry I’ve been thinking aobut it alot and it’s not quite refined yet enough to a point where i can easily explain it,

College Poll – Out of the choices provided, who would you choose to..?

This is a poll for my college class. Its very short, but I need 50+ people to answer. I know i won’t get that many here, but any amount helps because I’m working 2 shifts tomorrow AND have to study for my finals.. so I won’t have the time to go out.

If you don’t want to answer — please vote on an answer you would have chosen and I’ll just Tally em up.

Based on the information below, which person would you want help from?

Q: You are stranded in the Amazon. While walking thru the dense jungle, you come across a stranger. They offer you help, which you gladly accept. Out of the choices below, who would you accept help from?

A. A convicted murderer/bank robber.

Pro: They have a map, water and knowledge of the area. They offer to guide you back to the ranger station.
Con: You notice this person eying your valuables, you saw a WANTED poster back at the ranger station. The WANTED poster read: “Do not approach this subject. Armed and very dangerous”

B. A native

Pro: Knowledge of the area and survival skills.
Cons: You can not understand their language. You are unsure if this person is friendly or not. they are pointing a very large spear at your throat.

C. A person with a severe Bi-Polar disorder

Pro: Has supplies with them (water, food, first aid kit).
Con: This person is without their medicine. They have become very unstable and are becoming increasingly violent and suicidal. This person is carrying a knife.

Just put your answer, A, B, or C. If you’d like to include a reason, as to why you picked that person, that would be a big help. Plus, i’m a little curious. lol

Thanks

Is it better to have a job you love, but risk making little money or…?

I’m in a tight situation right now. I can either go to college for outdoor skills (climbing, survival, leadership, ecology, etc). I absolutely love them and I wouldn’t even need a college loan, but it would be risky when it comes to a job. I could make $50 a day or up to $500 dollars a day. The average is around $35k a year and that includes housing and sometimes food, but you are always moving (I don’t mind this as I don’t plan on starting a family) Another thing to consider is if I get hurt, I’ll be out of a job. The next option would be going in for computers where I would need a college loan (around $50,000). I enjoy computers and wouldn’t mind programming them, but I despise sitting in front of them all day. I would be making at least $75k a year, but probably around $90k after six or so years and around $50k starting salary minimum. What do you think is better option? Risk but love, or secure and enjoy some aspects and despise others?

Are there any respected militias in Florida I can join?

I’m 18 and going to college in Orlando next fall. I’m looking for a group that serves the community, trains in emergency preparation and survival skills, and has no history of intolerance or vigalante violence. Any ideas?
