The legacy of the dropout

<p>lmao cool. i always admired you too, although i did view you as a bit radical :p. btw, does your name mean college for the wealthy? cause when i read it i ALWAYS say that in my head haha.</p>

<p>Responses: </p>

<li><p>theyre not MORE important. but i would go further than you and say that they are equally as important (not less important). true, degrees are essential to succeed in the political world, the medical world, and the legal world. however, unsocial/ugly/etc. politicians, doctors, and lawyers will, (im gonna be more conservative here) in all likelihood, have a tougher time succeeding than their social/good looking/etc. counterparts. i think we can agree on that, right? at least i hope so haha.</p></li>
<li><p>no it is the same thing, i just have a hard time with emphasizing on the internet lmao. i may have been a bit confusing with my wording (too lazy to go back and read it).</p></li>
<li><p>in my opinion and from what i have learned from relatives, teachers, etc. a businessman is a person who has a business mind and knows how to make money through businesses, buying and selling, and other things of the sort.
businessmen dont fight for top business schools- high school students do.
business is probably the only field i can think of that doesnt require any schooling to succeed in. apprenticeship, experience in the field, and other things (intrinsic haha) will make a successful businessman. of course, if youre referring to stock traders and financial advisors and mortgage people etc. then obviously college is necessary.
but to be a person who makes money through business- that shouldnt require any schooling, right?</p></li>
<li><p>i meant a degree without sociability will occasionally prevail.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>to be completely honest, i never used to defend dropouts.
but after my older brother dropped out in his second year of college i gained perspective on the issue.</p>

<p>one- school isnt for everyone.
two- one can succeed without school (my brother is thank G doing very well- probably better than i will ever do as <em>hopeful</em> doctor)
three- he can do things that a person that has gone through 10 years of schooling would never be able to do.</p>

<p>there are other things, but i just wanted to set a background.</p>
