Learning Internet Marketing vs Going to College

I heard a pretty good perspective on internet marketing lately from a guy who started 4 years ago 30,000 in debt and made 2.4mm last year with nothing but affiliate marketing and pay per click.
Point is he said of course none of this happens over night.  He said a lot of people start off and work one campaign for a couple months, give up, start another, give up and finally go back to normal life.

However, he compared it to college.  He said most people go to college for four years and spend about 100,000 or so to get out and make $60,000 a year or in a good case, low 6-figures.  Which he looks at this as a terrible return on investment.  He says if you view what you’re about to embark on like a college education, you realize that it may take a lot of studying and several years (probably not near 100,000) and the upside is high 6 figures and in many cases 7 figures a year.

Gives a more realistic perspective than the get rich quick, it has to work out of the gate attitude that many in the industry portray.

Fortunately, I believe if I spend the next 3 years busting my ass on this and investing in myself I’ll be in the 7 figure spot as well.

Just my two cents before I go to bed.
