Recently my friend told me i have no path or no direction in life, although im qualified as a personal trainer, he says i should go back into education so i can get a degree so i can get a "skilled job" and earn a decent income and fulfill my life instead of sitting at home and failing over and over with affiliate marketting etc.
Any input from you guys would be very much appreciated as i feel quite down about this.

I have a degree in business from a top university in Canada. All the really valuable things about money making that I learned, I learned on my own long after completing my degree. For some fields a college degree is vital: physics, medicine, accounting, etc. For business it's not really that important.
Having a degree in many instances simply makes it easier for other people with degrees to accept you. This is particularly true when seeking a job.
Bottom line: if you are young, get a degree, otherwise a lot of doors in life will be shut to you.
