re: read only if you have time/ college

The biggest thing that jumped out at me was the comment about "making less than $50,000 a year" if you don't go to college. How about all the out of work college grads who not only don't have a job, but also have a TON of student loans when they start out their lives after college? Many college degree areas (English, liberal arts, etc, etc) don't = high paying career!
I went to a private 4 yr college for a BS in Biology and then got a master's in Education, and still as a teacher was only making $35,000 a year! My dh is a geologist (4 yr college degree) and now after 15 yrs of experience is just making over $50,000 a year. We have never both worked at the same time (so that one of us was home with the kids). And yet, we own a home, land, pets, are able to take trips, homeschool, feed and clothe the family just fine.
Sorry I don't have time to pick apart the rest of it.
