You are right. College does cost money. What you sugeested is a good idea.

A couple of other options:
1. Start out with community college and then transfer to a bigger university if you choose to stay with college.

2. Get some financial aid or on-campus jobs that might be in line with the business you want to start, to fund college.

No thats not what I meant. My comment was in regards to making the decision to *not go to college* for the wrong reasons such as being lazy or scared etc., but justifying it through other means.
