Steve did get a college degree, and he did it in 2 years. With a normal schedule, a college degree should take 4 years to achieve, and, like my self, that degree can take 6+ years. So, Steve put in a lot of hard work and determination to accomplish his goal. Not easy. And, Steve is using what he leaned in college to create this blog and administer the site.

The benefit of working at home is that you are to some extent free to do what you want, within reason. Steve can pick up his kids from school or do grocery shopping at his leisure. This is nice. However, Steve is running a website with a high volume of traffic. If you think he is on easy street, think again. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes that you do not see. I am guessing that he is putting time into this site 7 days a week, and he must be working 40+ hours per week. I really doubt Steve has all this "free time" that you seek.

Well, your mother sounds like a hard worker, and she is doing that hard work for you. You want to be like your mother, and work hard. Starting your own business is hard work, and it will be a lot more time & energy than working two jobs.
In my opinion, you are just another lazy person that wants it all, but does not want to work. searstower brings up a benefit of college. I would suggest going to college and getting some kind of business degree. In the mean time, you can get a retail job (because that is all that you are qualified to do) and try to start your own business in your free time. If that business is successful and starts to really eat up your time, then quit the job and then think about dropping out of college.
