The point of the original article is that if you don't really WANT a
job or career that demands a college degree, you might want to think
twice. Obviously, those who want to be doctors and lawyers don't have
that choice.
Roald Dahl wrote in "Lucky Break" that he certainly felt that way, too
- that is, he had no desire in that general direction and very much
wanted to travel and have adventures, so he got a job with Shell Oil
and was sent to East Africa, where eventually he got caught up in
WWII. Of course, he was also a good listener in school and a good
reader, or chances are he wouldn't have become the great writer he
was.
