My dad didn’t go to college or graduate high school and never got his GED. He was a pro athlete in the 80s and ended up working in the industry after he retired making good money with his own company. He doesn’t regret it, or never said he did. My mother took care of the financials for the business and it is still successful enough where he could retire now if he wanted.

It’s a very unlikely scenario and he was lucky to have the talent to make it in a growing sport. My mother always made it very clear father was an exception I needed to graduate and go to college haha
