Running careers are short and life is long. College is no guarantee of a great job but it increases the odds significantly. High school diploma only is a virtual guarantee of struggling for the rest of your life. Even if you get a semi decent job you will limit promotion possibilities with only high school.
Are there exceptions? Definitely but I would prefer to be on side of the odds.
For you single dudes getting a degree will also increase the odds of marrying a nice girl.

Who wants a nice girl?

Disregarding the point that many have already brought up about jager actually competing for wisconsin for 1 year, there is a massive difference between not going to college and not competing in the NCAA.
This 1000 times
Not one male in the olympic finals 100-800 completed 4 years of NCAA competition.

What if you learn a trade and make 25-30 dollars/hr two years after HS? Without 100k in debt with 4% interest.
I actually wish I went to community college to learn a trade like plumbing or HVAC/refrigeration in two years instead of dropping out of a four year college after three years.
Back on subject, yeah if a high school kid doesn't pursue any education without a lucrative pro sports contract in hand he/she isn't thinking.
College is good if you go to a dECENT school, and youre not a moron. There are too many people who wouldn't have gone to college years ago due to lack of intellect who go to college now and still graduate, so it takes down the value of any Bachelors degree

This is dumb. Rupp has a near-perfect GPA. I'm sure he could have gotten academic-related scholarships if he wanted.
NOPe. The moron Rupp had to drop out of a school with less than zero academic pressure. A freaking carrot would have a straight 4.0 in those courses at that "school".

If the guy has a functioning brain in his head, he can always go back.

The problem with Rupp is that he doesn't have a functioning brain. Stupid as stone.
A college degree doesn't mean much. Look at my man Amancio Ortega. The guy is worth 74.6 Billion and he dropped out of school at age 14. How many of you with a high school and college degree have 74.6 BILLION? If you know how to make money start making it. Or what about some you have heard of,Mo Farah, he ain't got no degree ,still raking in the dough.He even has a white butler that will pick him up when he falls in races. School is for chumps that aren't smart enough to know how to make money. So they pay some institution with no guarantee a bunch of money to supposedly teach them how. All the while the college is hoping you'll drop out or take longer so they can get more money.

So why aren't there more Amancio Ortega's? If you look at the number of Mexicans who didn't go to college and are not billionaires, your sample study of one is pretty weak sauce.
