Myth or Fact: Attending a university is a vital ingredient to a successful career. This rumor is indeed a myth. The real key to a successful career is hard work. Where you put in that hard work is up to you.
Some careers such as law and psychology require degrees from a university; but depending on your career aspirations a university might not be the best fit. Some careers are better sought after at a specialized college.
