I absolutely hate college and would rather not keep doing it but my entire family is full of Ph.D's and Master's Degrees and I would be considered a failure if I didn't at least get a Bachelor's.
I mean, hell, my uncle got all the way through law school....but didn't pass the Bar and won't take it again, and that alone is enough to make most of my family think of him as a failure. He's now living comfortably as some generic worker at Home Depot and his wife is a doctor so he ended up getting into a situation where he has tons of money anyway.
Heaven forbid I ever find out what they think of someone that doesn't even get through the first four years.
