Is a college degree the only way to make a good living?

I recently launched my own online business, offering affordable internet marketing services. I haven't given the business enough time to really take off but I feel like I'm stuck at a crossroads..I want to be able to work from home and make a great living above the norm. I want to be able to ask my girlfriend to marry me and I want a family. I work full time at a dead end $12 per hour job and I'm 26! I feel stuck because I know that the only way for me to have the future I want is to get out of this job and make more money! My girlfriend is already independent in her own career. I need HELP! Is a college degree the only real way to make a good living?? By the way, I'm not interested in any homebased business other than my own internet marketing company or affiliate marketing. So please dont spam my question with crap!

1. at least a bachelors, that or construction.
2. Well when looking at it, you'll be making money back from college like an investment. you'll be putting in money at first, but once you graduate, the pay increase from a high school graduate is substantial. Same way with a BS or BA and a Masters. And with you being interested in internet marketing (I'm an IT grad), it really gives you the tools to be better proficient and more professional. Go to college, and your GF will be happy, and you'll be happy with yourself.
3. No, it's not the only way, but statistically it's the safer way. You could get a degree in engineering, nursing, computer science, finance, and be making good money in about 5 years. Or you could go to technical college and get a license for plumbing, electrician, or auto repair - these also pay well and you'd be done a lot faster.
4. It's not the only way nor is it some guarantee of high pay. It does improve your marketability and shows you can accomplish goals. Unless you start a business it's tough to sell yourself with out some technical or collage degree.
