Bigvick, if you have so much going on then why are you wasting your time on this forum just so you can brag about yourself instead of being humble. Not everyone can get away with not getting a college education and be successful! Besides, college is more than just making a huge salary it's also about making lifelong friends and being surrounded by peers with similar interests.

<li><p>I work 25 hour work weeks now so I have plenty of free time, spending 5 minutes to make a forum post is not a big deal.</p></li>
<li><p>My whole purpose for coming into this thread was to give my opinion on the whole degree = your smart debate. I decided to back up my claims with facts instead of just making random statements. I assumed since the topic was "Degree = your smart?" it implied to give your opinions on the subject. </p></li>
<li><p>The whole "making lifelong friends and being surrounded by peers with similar intrests" ideology has no basis in this debate. While this is a valid fact it adds no credibility to the whole degree = your smart debate.</p></li>

<p>can't say the same of "lativa" (a country you mentioned twice), but i've heard of a little country in eastern europe called "latvia."</p>
<p>however, because ethically i should believe you, i do. congrats on your success :)</p>
<p>i totally agree that a college degree does not necesarily equal intelligence. but come on guys, bigvick is so full of it.</p>

<p>There are many different ways of saying it. In English yes it is latvia, In our country and Russia it is spelled and pronounced lativa do not ask me why... it is just one of those things..</p>

<p>Allright, Think about this....</p>
<p>Wait......</p>
<p>Hold on a sec.......</p>
<p>Ah yes! There we go....</p>
<p>Why do I care if you believe me or not? Nothing I will say or do will ever convince you otherwise. So in otherwords, if you are going to be a ignorant moron, I could care less.</p>
<p>I will say this one last time:</p>
<p>Go to GoldExchange.eu
Go to the contact Page
Get in touch with our support in one of many ways.
When you get through ask to see Mike.</p>
<p>But judging by your ignorant post you could care less If I could provide any proof at all and to be honest I have nothing to prove to you or anyone else on this forum and never will. You will never call my company and I will never speak to you and thats fine with me. If you do however I look forward to your call. </p>
<p>Once again for everyone here: ** I do not owe anyone any proof at all. I will however tell you, I would not waste my time here just thinking of BS lies to tell some forum community that I really don't care about. Everything I have said is completely true. It is sad to see people no longer have the vision of sucess...and have become sceptics. **</p>
<p>50% users in this thread agree that a degree does not measure intellegence and that was the point I was trying to get across.</p>
<p>Anyways, I have made the decison. I will not be visting this thread again. I will not be posting anymore. Even though I have much free time, I can find a better use of 5 minutes then sitting here while people go ** WE DEMAND PROOF - OR YOUR A LIAR, SINCE YOU OWE US PROOF FOR SOME REASON** while I allready offered some.</p>
<p>I hope some users got the deeper meaning of my posts.....</p>

<p>so mr. big*ick extremist...</p>
<p>so you are saying that making a website and getting lucky makes one smart?</p>
<p>smarter than one who could memorize say a whole dictionary?</p>
<p>i don't think luck necessarily means one is smart.</p>
<p>Proton, you're not understanding his message at all.</p>
<p>I think this is a big part your missing: why would anyone want to memorize a whole dictionary? That's what he's saying to you. Your focusing only on memorizing facts in school that are thrown at you daily by teachers, when you could also be focusing on doing something worthwhile and innovative like starting a business. </p>
<p>Education is a man-made thing. All through life people work towards man-made goals. A college degree? Man made. Money? man made. School? man made. What about the things that truly matter, the ones that aren't man-made? Like happiness. </p>
<p>BigVick, by creating a very successful company, no longer needs education to make it in society, also man-made. He has money to take care of his necessities, and therefore has time to do the things he truly likes to do, and be happy. </p>
<p>As for the luck? There's luck in everything proton. Probability. Getting into a good school takes luck. What if a college admissions officer had just read an application from the most amazing student in the world... and then he read yours. Bad luck, you're not going to do as well had you been right after a very poor (academic-wise) student. Luck. Probability.</p>
<p>Business, however, takes a lot more than luck. It takes careful planning, execution, and a wise budget. But hey, while you were sitting in class memorizing the dictionary, why couldn't they have taught you something useful like that?</p>
<p>Being good at school doesn't mean intelligence at all. It often means that you fail to see the greater things in life. It can mean you see no innovation.</p>
<p>If you go to school so you can get a good job and make money, spending 4+ extra years of your life in school, when someone was making thousands of dollars through business while in high school and now no longer needs college, and is still probably going to be making more than you after you have a college degree, I honestly see the person who had the business in high school as a much more intelligent person.</p>
<p>college is important. bill gates did not get a degree, true. but he went to HARVARD, met his future business parter, who also does not have a degree but that guy is the CEO of microsoft. if he went to YALE, he would not have met bill gates, and they would not have been microsoft!! college matter!s</p>
<p>hey peopl, just cuz you are EE does not mean you are smart. it is not hard to get accepted into a college and major in EE. i AM an EE major, rising junior at UMCP (us ranking #16) and i must say, i know plenty of business, english, poli sci, bio, etc ppl and they are way smarter, diligent, and innovative. </p>
<p>i got a 3.49 at umcp in ee. if i switched to bio, does that make me any dumber? not at all. if an idiot switched to ee, does it make him smarter? not at all.</p>
<p>Of course a degree does make you smart. That is not the point here. College is a means to builds one's self. Finding out who they are and where they belong in society. No one can wake up one morning and say "hell, today I want to be a lawyer," and then show up at court house to see if there are any criminals who need a good defense. Not the way it works. You could be the smartest person in the world, but without a degree and passing the bar you'll never become a lawyer in this country. It made be a sad reality, but it is the one we are faced. Same with a doctor, teacher, engineer, and many other professions. College is probably going to make you think and time manage better, but it won't make you smarter. Not everyone is going to start a business, but who cares. Some people want to work for a corporation and others don't. No one in this country has the right to down play anyone for what the do in life, we all have the right to freedom and making our own decisions. Whoever Bigvick is, needs to understand that America is based on a system of education and that is just the end of that story.</p>
<p>Again, being successful through high school is sheer luck. I had many friends in high school start businesses- all were very intelligent. Yet all of them are now in college because their business (and sometimes businesses) failed. College isn't going to make you rich on it's own, but you are much more likely to strike it rich with the contacts and experiences you gain in college than trying to do it on your own. Unless mommy and daddy have connections.</p>

<p>Indeed, That was one of my main points.</p>
<p>I have a few relatives who are multi-millionaires and great at making money. Boy are they retarded when it comes to anything revolving around philosophy and how to live your life. These are things you learn in college. Not just from books but from each other. You downplay the importance of college and say you can make money if you know how. True. Doesn't mean **** in the end though. Money = financial comfort..not happiness.</p>
<p>Better to have both. But hey, ignorance is bliss. Like Armando said.</p>
<p>Let me put it this way: I wouldn't wouldn't vick making any decisions for me or my country.</p>

<p>That's the worst argument I have ever heard. </p>
<p>If what you are saying is true:</p>
<p>5% of the population knows about philosophy and how to live their lives.
95% of the population does not know anything about philosophy and has no idea how to lead their lives.</p>
<p>5% of the population knows people and shares experinces with similar intrests.
95% of the population does not know anyone with similiar intrests and spend their time alone.</p>
<p>See something wrong with those numbers?</p>
<p>You do not need college to learn about philosophy/socializing.</p>
<p>This is the argument that keeps coming back from all of you:</p>

<p>What do you think the majority of the world(which does not go to college) does?</p>
<p>"5% of the population knows about philosophy and how to live their lives.
95% of the population does not know anything about philosophy and has no idea how to lead their lives."</p>
<p>which explains the world's problems! i'd say that's actually reasonable. not my intended conclusion but yes I agree. </p>
<p>but hey, i know many college grads who i like much less than non-grads. you have to remember not everyone who goes to college gives a crap about learning anything. they just want a piece of paper.</p>
<p>"5% of the population knows people and shares experinces with similar intrests.
95% of the population does not know anyone with similiar intrests and spend their time alone."</p>
<p>where the hell did that come from? i never mentioned anything about whether people are hermits or not.</p>
<p>"You do not need college to learn about philosophy/socializing." </p>
<p>can be true, but i'd say it's not the rule. In general, college grads I know have their lives together, can make good conversation, aren't just concerned with making money, etc etc etc</p>
<p>Non-college grads (though sometimes more pleasant to be around for sheer fun) don't have the deepest insights into the world. Don't know much about the world. Have little understanding of philosophy let alone any philosophers. Are usually swept up by the religion of their upbringing. </p>
<p>Just my experience. </p>
<p>And that's "my" last post on this thread. (no I'm not posting another three pages like a toddler having a temper tantrum)</p>
