There are a lot of rich, successful people out there who never finished college. On the other hand, the big picture statistics that I’ve seen on the news, etc. indicate that the average earnings of someone with a college degree are much higher than those of someone without. There are a lot of careers where, fairly or not, you’ll bump into a ceiling on your success without a degree.
I am a college student majoring in architecture and my school is very far from art supplies. And architecture students always have to rush all over the place last minute in order to get supplies. I was thinking of selling supplies from my van in order to make some money and help out the college students but I want to see if its a good idea. Are there any legalities with this? And can the college sue me for using their property? And I am in NYC in case this helps. thanks
