Don't waste time - don't put off school. When you are 40 or older it's much harder, especially for advanced degrees. Pick a reasonable profession you like, don't search forever trying to find a "professional pot of gold." You may not love it, but will probably grow into it or something for you will grow out of it. Education, no matter what the university/college or job is what YOU make of it. There is the top tier of Ivys and schools of prestige, but everything else is just about the same, in terms of oppportunity. Many Ivy grads get nowhere and many less prestigious college grads become quite successful. Education and work however, are not the keys to happiness, they're just one important part of life among many others, such as family, faith, and community. Don't trust in luck. Events are what they are intended to be. So in my opinion, "luck" and "name-dropping," etc. are not the keys to opportunity, just as making money fast is not the key to happiness. There are many wealthy, unhappy and depressed loners and intellectual derelicts are a dime-a-dozen intellectuals - 99% of getting anywhere in life is YOUR DETERMINATION & PERSERVENCE! Believe in yourself, work hard, be patient, and do good to others. By these actions success will come to you naturally.
