Launching Points : 50 Careers That Don't Require A College Degree

College is the not right choice for everyone. It wasn't for Bill Gates, who dropped out of college with Paul Allen to launch Microsoft. It wasn't for Karl Rove, who was the Senior Advisor to President George W. Bush. College wasn't the right path for Rush Limbaugh, Tyra Banks, or Simon Cowell. It wasn't the right place for Richard Branson, Henry Ford, or Ray Crock (the founder of McDonalds) who changed the world with no college degree. College may not be the right place... for you. Launching Points profiles fifty careers that don't require a four year college degree. It's packed with insights on job descriptions, salary data and tips on jump starting each career path.
