answer:Just to comment on one aspect of the question: Furthermore, I have little desire to earn very much money. The things I need to live a happy life are few… I can’t imagine wanting much else. If I have a family I will want a good, stable place to live and the money to finance my children, but that’s about it. Young people so often forget the very important question of how they will live after they stop working. You must think of a future beyond your peak earning years. Further: I do believe in the importance of college, not for a job but for your life. In theater you must draw on everything you are or ever have been, everything you know. The richer your life and experience and the deeper your knowledge, the greater your resources. College is not the only source of knowledge and enrichment, but it is an excellent one. If what you really want to do is quit college, it seems to me that questions about costs and earnings are a smokescreen.
