do you need to have a college degree to be a novelist and screenplay writer?

1. Christopher Paolini's parents helped him out. (This by way of example.) They home-schooled him, spent a couple of years on the road showing his first (self-published) book around, selling enough (had the money and time for it) for the book to eventually reach the attention of an actual publisher, who bought a copyright for it and the others. But it really is best (since Paolini's story is one backed by great dedication, time and money by his folks, and is very rare indeed)... 2. It really is best to attend college and study SOMEthing about literature: reading, writing term papers, doing research... college offers a lot. You can study 'only' creative writing or the writing of screenplays at places like workshops (costly for the short time spent at them, but nice), but to get a college degree you will also be studying a language, math, history, science, art; film and theatre if you like,;and more, besides getting to know a lot more about how the world works in general. 3. College prepares students in many ways for life, and life is where the stories are, be they fantasy or not. Some simply do what others call 'cribbing' someone else's work = applying what they've read to make a not-very-original novel or screenplay. Paolini's work, as I see it, seems heavily influenced by former books, mostly by the Dragonriders of Pern series by Ann McCaffrey. 4. Some are 'naturals' and float novels and screenplays with astounding ease, but I really do not know anyone who has done so in this day and age. Guess I've made my point: suggest you go to college and get things done well. ADD: Much reading, travel, etc. is good too, though "current trends" do not make good writing. Really good writing, besides being good, is usually bought for originality not just for a "trend." A small disagreement on that. Even a trendy book, if good, is original.

Do you need a college degree to make and sell bikes, scooters, and skateboards?

No you do not , but if your going to be an employee and not an owner, you defiantly need one otherwise they wo not consider hiring you. (If your running your own business at home you dont need one either just need to find a way to sell those things! And get money in the first place..) Maybe take some Wood-shop course and anything related and maybe put in a Business source so you know how to sell and do that type of stuff.. Hope this helps

Do you have to have a college degree to be successful?

Not, necessarily no.It all depends on what kind of "success" you are looking for, because success is a multi-faceted subject. Gaining an understanding of that starts out with asking people what they success is. There are many ways they can describe it, and it's something I've analyzed and made an effort to describe to some degree. Success can be. ..A Personal Characteristic -- You may possess a trait, talent or skill that gives you the ability to do things to BE successful.nA Habit or Mannerism -- It may be an action or a sequence that you go through with things that commonly occur in life, such a seizing opportunities.nA Certain Awareness -- Knowing something about something that somehow helps to guides you toward actions or achievements that may lead to success. nA Perspective -- A certain way of viewing life and a set of actions and mannerisms that you live by. A creed or commitment of and to behavior that generally promotes successful outcomes for you in life.nAn Analogous State of Being -- To be successful is to be happy, or content, or to have peace of mind -- namely, to be something else than successful -- being successful is simply seen as a manner of being and existing. The work necessary to attain it is never defined, and often variable and left to the individual.But it's not really important how you define success, what is important is whatcauses you to be successful, and when you consider yourself successful. For some people it's money, for others it could be having great friendships and relationships in life... there's a number of different ways. However, for most people, it's money -- so that's what we will talk about first.The way that most Americans these days, as well as many in other well-developed countries aim to develop financial success in their life according to the societal norms that have been established. We have this idea and stigma associated with and surrounding success that says to be successful one most go to college, get a degree, and get a job. That's all fine and dandy, but it's not the real path to success, because you end up having to make a lot of sacrifices along the way and put up with a bunch of stupid stuff that has no relevance or application to your future. To gain financial success, you will likely end up sacrificing other areas of potential success in your life -- your relationships, your freedom, your ability to continue growing and learning, your ability to travel, your ability to schedule your time how you want -- because you sign so much of your time off not only to the attaining of your education, but also to your job in the future.A degree does not truly guarantee you success, it acts merely as a "membership card" to get into the big person's job world. Regardless of your true qualifications or abilities, it is often the degree that is what gets a person a job, even though it's not an accurate representation of what you ACTUALLY know and remember. What is most important, a huge passion and interest in the job you are applying for goes completely under the rug. And that's why so many people are unhappy with their jobs, because they go to school and never really find what they are passionate about and what they have an interest in. The real true path to success is to find what you are passionate about and let that guide you. You have to find a way to take what you are passionate about and create a job and way to make a living from it. Some people say "if it's that easy, then why are not more people doing it?" and my answer is because people are not always willing to step out of their area of comfort nor listen to the guidance inside. The reason I titled my book "The Dropout Millionaire" is because it talks about the kind of success the dropout millionaires of the world have attained -- not because of how much money they make -- what was important about this style of success was how naturally it came to them, how they each had many things in common, and how they are genuinely happy people who are doing what they love and feel passionate about.I have a huge passion for success, and it's something I've been writing a book about for the past two years. www. thedropoutmillionaire. comLooking forward to hearing your thoughts and opinions, but most importantly, finding a way to help those who want to find a real and sustainable source of success in their life.Do you have to have a college degree to be successful?
