I'm 71. When I was in my 20s, my mother kept bemoaning the fact that I didn't have "that piece of paper".

Now I'm debt-free, retired, and own my own home; I worked for myself most of my life, and I'm pretty happy. Never went to college, but dammit I can spell and punctuate better than almost any college graduate today.
