Of the three most successful of my friends in the same age range as me, two are not college grads, and are making six figures in real estate. The other is a recent law school grad, making about the same. None of these "statistics" matter though; a go-getter is a go-getter, college degree or not. You can spot them a mile away. They have a PLAN--an air of competence and ambition that most do not. People who take 5-6 years to finish a liberal arts degree clearly do not have a plan.
