Start school... Realize you don't want to be an officer...
Finish the year and enlist...
Spend some time in... get injured...
Have the Navy do some butchery... take some night classes when you can...
Get medically retired and go back to school.
Nope... Not pushing that path AT ALL!
-The relation (Excepting some VERY EXCEPTIONAL ones/schools)
is: Piece of paper: $
I did the OTHER way... looking back... I could of done it so much better and cheaper.
I'm just glad you taxpayers have paid for it, and not me!
I didn't have options for my degree/school combo. NO 2 year transfers or CLEPs accepted at my school:

Is it possible to transfer to Princeton from another college or university?
No. At this time, Princeton is not able to offer transfer admission. Any student who has graduated from secondary school and enrolled as a full-time degree candidate at another college or university is considered a transfer applicant and isn't eligible for undergraduate admission.
I graduated with $10200 debt. Scholarships/Alumni paid for the rest. I feel that my "piece of paper" is worth the debt that I have stacked up (and have not paid off yet by choice because the interest is soo low). But I guess that's something I'll be able to assess when older.
I'm paying my MBA out of pocket (sort of, depending on how you look at it).
Why not just teach yourself something for free, through you know, books and hands-on learning? Then go pay the couple hundred bucks and make your skill a legit business. At that point it becomes up to you whether your biz takes off or not.
College is not the path to wealth. Look at how much school doctors and lawyers (the top of the educational food chain) have to go through; damn near a decade and 100k of debt. Rats in a maze.
Everyone has wings. The key is to not clip them before you become an adult with passion for something.
The name of the game is "Take public funding away, then make hard working people pay out of their pocket" What's wrong with that... it punishes kids that have poor parents.
Some do, some don't. What you have described is going to a vocational school to learn a trade. Instead of exposure to a variety of fields, such as Eng. Lit, Biology, etc., you want a one-dimensional trade that will enable you to earn money. That is fine. But please do not try to pass it off as a college education.
If you were addressing me, what on Earth are you talking about?

LOL, I think it's an option that is overlooked by many (even by capable people) due to society.... but certainly not everyone is capable.
Everyone should atleast look into it before disregarding it though. I'm talking specifically about starting a business off of skills.
