<p>1) robinson…um thanks for your contribution/the retribution to light airen? I guess we can’t use sarcasm when we’re debating about controversial issues can we? And lmao, think this is petty? Then you really haven’t been on college confidential much. Go look at other forums and debates. If you can’t contribute anything meaningful to the discussion, don’t say anything. Sorry I’m a bit annoyed.</p>
<p>2) gshak, I think youre arguments are bit flawed in several areas. First, you made it sound like people who are “unsocial” are failures, even if they’re the smartest people in the world. Let me remind you though, that Mark Zuckerberg (according to Time magazine and bunch of others) is considered “socially awkward.” Einstein was “socially awkward.” Second, while dropping out does not mean you won’t succeed, the chances of succeeding are far less if you drop out. Think Zuckerberg would have dropped out if he didn’t develop his softwares first and was SURE that he could make big bucks without a degree? If you can be that confident, sure go ahead and drop out. Third, again, while your argument on “intrinsic quality” being enough may be true in some cases (esp. with athletes) but not with others. Funny you would mention “doctors” so much; if you don’t have a degree as a doctor, even if youre the best physican in the world, I doubt people would go to you if they found out you didn’t even graduate college. </p>
<p>3) Light Airen…agreed bro.</p>
