College and ruling abstraction

One thing have seen and puzzled over is when will notice some very public person telling people they do not need college. And I wonder, if that person were in a complex litigation would that person prefer lawyers without college degrees? Or with?

My guess with that example is with, though reality is, in US to practice as a lawyer, person would need a variety of qualifications. While a law degree is not necessarily one of them, like if can pass state bar without, wonder how many of those so loud and proud that YOU do not need a college degree would accept a lawyer without one?

Yet clearly in business is not necessarily the case that you need a college degree.

Yeah but business is providing a product or service for customers willing to pay.

One of the great and remarkable business successes was a guy who sold pet rocks.

While I say, college teaches meta learning, which is learning how to learn. And yeah, if you have a good handle on selling things to people does not surprise me if you can become successful at business, without learning how to learn.

So what's the difference then, fundamentally, between needing college for something like a law degree but being able to be a master of industry without one?

I say the key is handling: abstraction. And the level of abstraction in modern law vastly exceeds what you might face, selling pet rocks, or most business one might do! But then again, depends on the business.

Like in the fashion industry, you will am sure find people with college degrees or there I think they call them fashion degrees who dominate as top designers.

But convincing people to buy clothes you make, year after year, is presumably harder than say, convincing them to buy insurance, or your software product.

So yeah. DO think it possible to be a successful business owner of a software company without a college degree, but also should acknowledge you can learn how to learn without college. However college is where there is a well-developed process.

Yet MOST Americans do just fine without one. For more on that one, read my post:
What I think is the point of college

But depending on what you wish to do in life?

You need to dive into the details to decide: college? Or no.

And yeah, in my opinion, college helps you rule, or get a measure is another way to put it, on abstraction where how much you need to handle?

Is so much about what you want to do.
