Free registration at the forum removes this block.We really need to nip this discussion because it is STUPID:
A great deal of people that went to college are successful entrepreneurs!
A great deal of people that did not go to college are successful entrepreneurs!
What is the point of the argument?
Anyone can be successful with or without college!
END OF STORY! ENOUGH ALREADY!
We should ban these posts from this forum as they go NOWHERE and only get people to argue.
I like these types of stories. Society molds you right from birth into thinking that in order to be be sucessful, you have to get good grades in high school, ace the SAT test, sustain a 4.0 through college, get a Masters degree, marry your high school sweetheart and have 2.5 kids in a house with a white picket fence.
I'm shocked by the amount of people that just don't get it, and they follow these ideas like there's a rulebook or something. And if you don't do the same you're considered a "loser".
Notice how whenever you meet new people, they always ask you "So, where do you work?" As if doing anything other than going to college and then working for The Man is not possible and there's not another option.
Stories like these are another reminder to those sheep who go around asking people "Where do you work?" while following the sheep down the highway in their metal coffins each morning while sipping coffee and and trying to not spill any on their hangman's noose, which for some reason they call a "neck tie". Give me a break. It's a hangman's noose corporate America requires you to wear, so when you can't take it anymore, you can go in the office bathroom and end it all.
I'd rather live on my feet, than die on my knees.
