Alright so it's time to pick which college i want to go to and, unfortunately enough, each school im looking at is pretty dominant in its own way. So, im looking for a little help. My ultimate goal is to become an entrepreneur. I'm thinking i would like to try and start either a ski company, or start a car company. Not quite sure which i'd rather do more but hey i got some time. As far as choices go i'm deciding between University of Utah, Colorado Mountain College Steamboat Campus, and Rochester Institute of Technology. I was accepted for the marketing program At Utah, the ski and snowboard business porgram at CMC and Graphic media marketing at RIT. I'm pretty much deciding between CMC and RIT. CMC's program looks like it would set me up pretty nicely to start my own ski co after snagging an associates degree, or i could transfer out to a better school after. RIT is in the top 4 percentile for marketing in the USA and pretty much garuntees me big bucks right out of college. Problem is at CMC i probably wouldn't get a quality education, and at RIT i wouldn't get shit in terms of skiing. So if you guys could help me out id appreciate it.

So why not Utah? And CMC is a joke, at least get a Bachelor's. Consider CU, CSU, or Western State?

go to utah, cmc is not legit, and RIT is still on the east coast, and is a sausage fest (not as bad as mines though).

None of those are actually schools, I suggest watching tv and leeching your parents money for four years, you will learn the same anyway.

if you are serious about this, you need to get a bachelors degree, like someone above said. also, some universities actually offer entrepreneurship degrees- something to check out.

go to utah or one of the front range colorado schools.
