I think that's neat, first of all that you stopped college to help the family business, and secondly that you were able to make a go of it without the degree.
I was fortunate that my parents were able to put me through college. I've often wondered, though, what other alternatives there are for people who can't go to college, for whatever reason. Its neat to hear stories like yours.
