That lady is so stupid. Of course most people are employees, if everyone was an entrepreneur, no one would be an entrepreneur because said entrepreneurs wouldn't have anyone to hire.
Also, she say's you're born one but then she says you're conditioned to be or not to be one. Umm....
I've been your model A student my whole life, did sports, was involved etc etc and now that I'm nearly done with my bachelors (finance) I've noticed that what really counts is who and what you really know, the titles and degrees and grades end up meaning dogshit in the end. I've been lucky enough to have a professor set me up with the job I'm lined up for now, but that was a total damn fluke. so to my fellow grads, our grades were pointless. That is all.
@mites7 i couldn't agree more. when i go to these career fairs at my college, they don't even ask for their gpa. all they require is a minimum 3.0 gpa. i think it was all hype
i will be graduating with a degree in biomedical engineering from UC Davis this spring, and i still dont see the purpose in school. i believe the ones who are oftentimes motivated by a superficial/materialistic goal are the ones who succeed at school and at work. i feel like it requires little intelligence but great patience, motivation, and hard work to sit there and learn this garbage that you will never find useful besides for doing well in the class.
@kylecoolio12 those are actually good traits (lousy in school,lazyness,lack of effort) because it just means they know what is not going to be efficient or worth the effort. TO THEM. They rather pursue and learn about what they enjoy and don't really care if people call them lazy because they know they aren't.
i honestly hate authority that is hypocritical, overbearing, and controlling for no reason. i have always resisted authority with a passion for those reasons if and when I sniff someone out of those qualities. I am a smart kid who one of my old classmates called me "the kid to watch"... I have been struggling to find a job after college, but I am thinking fuck it, I will start my own business and fight tooth and nail with a good idea or two.
@turkeysub3000 Go for it. This idea of working for someone for 30 years are OVER. That is why the economy is down the toilet. The job market must be evolve, everything else is, the way we look at tv, listen to music, movies except the job market. This is the perfect time to start a business and get into real estate.
@turkeysub3000 let me know when you make your millions. lol just cuz ur friend called you "the kid to watch" doesn't mean diddly squat. i made apps for ios when it first came out and made couple hundreds thousands in a week. making money is easy, you just need to know strike when the iron is hot.
9 out of 10 jobs interviews I fail at. Not that the interviews are bad. Not that I don't have the credentials. It's because I am not a drone. I got straight A's in school, simply because it was retardedly easy for me. Had I put NO effort into school, because it was stupid, in my eyes, I could easily see myself making D's.
I now own my own business. I think back to one interview where the interviewer said "do you have a problem with authority." O_o
To be successful you need to have passion, be very optimistic, have very strong opinions, high energy and you need to be willing to take risks and act. Intelligent people are often very wishy-washy about their opinion and they often don't like to take risks because it could embarrass them. If you are intelligent you will have a good life and fun but you probably won't be super rich.
@leapingfury thanks for your thoughts ! copied into my quote list. Yes indeed - passion, willingness to commit almost everything to one's enterprise, seeing it as ok to fail (learning experience). Ignoring naysayers (often "friends") ... non of these things are taught or practiced at school - on the contrary. schools teach us to benice little conformist clones. and to die to our passions, in some cases.
Business involves a lot of dimensions OK , and no guys ( some stupid ignorant comments i am reading) millionaires are not educated, they are students for life OK, stuff that you learn in college can and will NOT be enough to run a multi million dollar enterprise OK , and i think no body should call this women idiot she know what she is saying and doing, and You the EDUCATED now get up and go to your Just over Broke thing u do everyday,FUK OFF
plz dont listen to her....it's true there are D students and make a success out of themself....however...there are more A students that's more successful in life than the D's.
90% of the billionaire in da world is highly educated...only 10% are drop outs....in addition,there's only 1000 out of 6800000000 peoples in this world arebillionaires, from there only 100 out of 6.8 billions are dropouts and manage to become a billionaire. If you think about that what are the odds you be one of them?
Well when you look at it like playing the freaking lottery, like billionaires are just selected at random, then yes, the "odds" are bad. The very fact that you look at it this way, confirms that you are NOT a potential billionaire.
The keys to large financial success are born ability, acquired knowledge, crafted skill, and motivation. The ability to think larger than those around you, and to block out small minded, self-defeatist, conformist negativity from people like you.
I'm BETTER than most people at crucial things, and this is WHY, I will become a billionaire.
All that math, and the "odds" you just threw out, are nothing more than your own personal excuse for why you'll never be one. Stop feeding others your own excuses for your average life.
(on top of incessant complaining, excuses, pessimism and conformity, a common trait of average-poor people is needing to affect others with their unsuccessful mindset, to further "legitimize" their own underachievements.)

@chrisig717 well, if thats the case....you should start a little business that you like. Maybe something that is a hobby of yours that you can turn into a business. For example......I started playing guitar at 11 years old......by the time I was 18 I was giving lessons in a music shop and privately. You can easily get $20, per "half hour" giving guitar lessons in the town i am in. Basically.....turn your hobby (s) into a fun business
@discjockeynow2008 KUDOS TO YOU MY FRIEND...I think that the more effort you put in grade school, when you get older you get a bit tired of it. Let give you an example... when in grade school i was a staight D student who graduated with a 1.2 gpa. compared to my sister who was a 4.0 student. now that we are both in college it seems like i have bigger goals than her.shes chosen a short career and is not as enthusiastic about school as i am. Today im just 1yr away to getting in Medical school..
Not doing well in school is not conducive to success, nor are good grades a definite sign of conformism or bad grades a sign of entrepreneurial motiviations.
However, I go to a top-ten undergraduate business school and I definitely see the "fall-in-line" attitude that so many kids have. I really do believe that being unique and having a visionary spirit is important for upper echelon, "millionaire" success. But, at the same time, good grades don't hurt.
These days people with working class jobs can make as much money as a professinal with a college degree. I know a miner who makes $3000 a week and one of my friends who is only 25 is making $70 000 a year as an aircraft mechanic.
That lady is right. I know a couple people who did poorly in school and are well off now. But i also know about 200 more people who did poorly and are in jail, stupid,addicted to drugs or dead. Just because a few turned out well doesn't mean that's gonna happen w/ everybody.
I dont think school exposes students to real world experiences that might cause them to be motivated. Just get good grades remembering stuff. Why force people to take calculus and trig but not teach them how to change a flat tire or register a business name?? university is only good for becoming a doctor or lawyer. otherwise its just way to network. waste of time to me.
@gardnerbm Actually classes in college do teach you how to change a tire and they also have business classes that teach you valid info. All you have to do is register for the class. It's not hard.
All the bums with nothing in the crowd shaking their heads.
I got Ds and Cs in school. Did shit at UNI did a crap 1 semester in design crap. 2nd semester in social sciences. Just fucked around since i was a kid really.
Im in my first year of law because I wanted to do that so I did . All these smart arses in high school are still what i call trained monkeys not actually switched on.
@apacheslim Well for starters, you had to do well in school to get into a solid law school, so despite your earlier struggles you've evidently learned to do well in school.
As for the smart arses you've mentioned, many of them are not as successful as you, but many are probably just as successful.
No I had to do a bridging course and get high grades. If I told some of my teachers that I was studying law some of them would probably spit in my face. Well no they arent at all . When I look back at high school a few years ago I fucking dumb founded about the crap they would teach, how they would teach it and who would teach it. Not being successful at school doesnt mean you cannot be successful at life.
Guys dont get the wrong idea. the whole purpose of education is to built ur knowledge. if you was a fresh born how would you no bout business how to make money. all this has been sensed and stucked into your brains. you have learnt and came out with your own ideas. which is why failiurs can make big too. but i am not sure wether i should continue with my studies or not. is my last year college am going university next year but am just confused
yea but I'm sure the guy that takes out your trash didn't do great in school either, being a poor student doesn't gaurentee you success in business but then again being a straight A student won't help you either.
"i wouldnt trade my college degree for anything. it was the best 4 years of my life. i have friends for life because of my time there. " Good for you man.
I gave that up to persue wealth, and think of the collage experience I never had as one of my biggest regrets.
@PresidentOfTheBlackI agree. Also people don't go to college just to get a high paying job. They improve themselves with Psychology classes and health. Or taking an appreciative art class. Join clubs, volunteer. Networking is huge, too. Good comment. I was in the navy for 4 yrs. and it was rough. College is a fucking paradise. I hear spoiled kids complain about college. I'm glad people like you enjoyed it. College is fantastic.
John Paulson runs the hedge fund Paulson & Co. NYU VALEDICTORIAN and HARVARD MBA made number one in the Trader Monthly 100 for the year 2007. Earnings: approx $3+ BILLION. There is no correlation, it all depends on the individual, period. I always hated this show...
she is right because I knew i loved learning but I didnt like school. the teachers I had were just there to collect their pay. I even skipped school sometimes to go to the public library and read
there is definitely a fallicy to the statement. but there is definitely a point to what she said. um... warren buffett did good in school, charlie munger, george soros, even bill gates was good in academia, he just decided to drop out when the opportunity came. It can go both ways. getting good grades doesnt have to mean your subservient to the society thats built this system. and doing bad in school, you get more cases of failures than successful people, but those tough enough can succeed.
True on everything you wrote. I'd also like to point out that you can make quite a bit of money as a doctor, lawyer, or high level manager. It may take years of schooling/education or working your way up the corporate ladder but it can be done. No one seems to be impressed with these occupations namely because they're so ordinary. They like stories about people who were poor who became rich and famous through perseverance and being in the right place at the right time.
I cant stand that point of view. You have to be a failure at school to fully subscribe to that notion. People you blow at school who become financially successful compared to people who figure out doing well at school is a good idea is very skewed toward educated people. Barbara is second rate anyway. People who dismiss education because its difficult & are too weak to exhibit self control are the worst.
Believe me, she is right. A guy that only has a high school diploma that I know who runs his own business at the age of 21 makes about $5000 each week.
That's very impressive for his age. I'm going to earn much more, but that's later in my carreer lol when I'm 30 or something. And by that time who knows what kind of money he'll be making.
Most entrepreneurs start out with 0 money, I repeat ! 0 money. Bills gates, Ted turner,Robert Dell, Steve Jobs, all college drop outs. Henry ford didn't even finish the 8th grade, Andrew Carnegie was a still worker with know education. Are education system produces employees. That's why 10% of the people control 90% of the money.
There is no mainstream school or university on how to be a multi millionaire...That's street smarts. Read the millionaire next door. It will demonstrate my point beautifully.
Yeah, it demonstrates how they build capital. Most importantly it describes the mindset of self made millionaires.
Ironically I will be buying a home tomorrow, well within my means. I'll be there for a short while and then rent it out. etc etc.
Most people go right for the large expensive house out of their means and never get ahead. Sadly college, in some cases, preps you for this. Also look up T.Harv Eker and his book. Best financial book I have ever read.
if the kids are lousy in school, it could work both ways but sometimes failure in school i sdue to lazyness and lack of effort, they could grow into adults that bear these traits and neevr succeed
wrong being lazy in schooll can be just the lack of conformity to rules and laws that are stupid and I trust that you can remenber a couple of rules in the school..
I dont think Trump get were he is folowing what other people said him what to do
Ya...perfect... stupid Americans surely liked that one. Finally, there is a way to feel good about being stupid. "I'm not an idiot...I am just an entrepreneur".
academic knowledge to be a successful entrepreneur and become a millionaire, you just have to know your business. Big difference. And BTW: I did my homework. Speaking with millionaires and billionaires said the same thing (the ones I personally spoke to.)
Also, if you read the Millionaire Next Door, for example, by Thomas J. Stanley, most entrepreneurs were "average" students. Most were told they would never amount to much. Most were outsiders. Most didn't go with the crowd, but against it. I think you would also agree there are people working for Gates and Buffet who are smarter than they are in other areas, but don't make as much money as they do, because they don't own the company the work for it. You don't have to have a lot of ....
Look... this is where it helps to be a good student. The correct question that you should ask is :
1) What %of A students are successful entrepreneurs?
B) What % of average students are successful entrepreneurs?
The point made in the video makes sense only if a larger % of average students become successful entrepreneurs as compared to the % of A students doing the same.
The fallacy lies in the fact that, by definition, there aren't very many people who succeed at being students.
From among 1000 students, say you have 100 good, 800 average and 100 poor students.
That means even if 100% of good students were to become successful entrepreneurs and a mere 13% of average students were to become successful entrepreneurs there would still be "more" successful entrepreneurs who were good students!!!
You are still stuck in the mindset of which Barbara was talking about. Do what everyone else does. Being a good student dictates very little about your future life and is a narrow minded way of looking at things.
My parents neighbors were very successful stock brokers on Wall St. Now they they have lost their jobs....they have to sell their $3million home? They got good grades...but street smarts are what dictates how intelligently you spend money...
gates & allen, buffett, brin & page, zuckerberg, yang & filo, thiel, omidyar, soros were all A students. these wannabes just want to feel better about themselves for having been academic failures.
I think those people are the exception to the rule. If you look at the statistics, most millionaires do not attribute their success to their academic achievements and the ones who do are usually attorneys or doctors. Gates and Buffet probably would, but don't forget both work with numbers on a daily basis. Most could not do what they do. So Gates and Buffett would attribute their success to their intelligence because you have to have a lot of it to do what they do.
I think there is some truth to grades and some to truth to people that weren't that great in school. I've known people that had masters..that didn't make that much money or some that had two degree's. I have a business however; I am a A to B student...however; in school I wasn't interested in classes that bored me. I think everyone needs a passion to love what they do...and exceed in what they do..and the money comes with their passion to succeed and persistance to do it again if you fail.
Most people who have straight A's spent so much time studying books that they did not have a chance to figure out people. Most people with C's studied people more than books. This is why most millionars are C students according to the statistical book entitle Millionaire Mind and the Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J Stanley. I believe to say that millionaires are D students is really stretching it. Also most millionaires want their kids to be A or B students-ain't that something.
@GreyMoose08 your marks in school really don't matter in the long run. You are only as good as your last success. Marks in school might set you up for success, but after a while those D student entrepreneurs start to catch up.
seriously, i think more straight A students are making more money than the D students. Sure, some D students are billionaires now, rag to riches style but there aren't that many.. what about the rest of the D students that are probably flipping burgers, etc?
I absolutely agree with her. School does nothing but bog you down and kills your creativity / passion. I kind of regretted that I didn't drop out of college to pursue my passions. Now that I graduated, my passions that I used to have pretty much are gone. I kept them restrainted for too long.
Actually, I'm just busting balls, but she does annoy me. She is one of those high-strung types that I try to avoid. I could only imagine working for someone like her. She would bust your balls and eat you up alive. If you like her (try working for her). You will not like her for long.

So it was not me it was the system,im a good student in things i like.
So never give up dont let the teachers or anybody bring you down,for me a teacher whose students are noot good is not a good teacher.

I dont think school exposes students to real world experiences that might cause them to be motivated. Just get good grades remembering stuff. Why force people to take calculus and trig but not teach them how to change a flat tire or register a business name?? university is only good for becoming a doctor or lawyer. otherwise its just way to network. waste of time to me.

@gardnerbm Actually classes in college do teach you how to change a tire and they also have business classes that teach you valid info. All you have to do is register for the class. It's not hard.

I got Ds and Cs in school. Did shit at UNI did a crap 1 semester in design crap. 2nd semester in social sciences. Just fucked around since i was a kid really.
Im in my first year of law because I wanted to do that so I did . All these smart arses in high school are still what i call trained monkeys not actually switched on.
apacheslim 1 year ago
@apacheslim Well for starters, you had to do well in school to get into a solid law school, so despite your earlier struggles you've evidently learned to do well in school.
As for the smart arses you've mentioned, many of them are not as successful as you, but many are probably just as successful.

@jhualexc
No I had to do a bridging course and get high grades. If I told some of my teachers that I was studying law some of them would probably spit in my face. Well no they arent at all . When I look back at high school a few years ago I fucking dumb founded about the crap they would teach, how they would teach it and who would teach it. Not being successful at school doesnt mean you cannot be successful at life.

Guys dont get the wrong idea. the whole purpose of education is to built ur knowledge. if you was a fresh born how would you no bout business how to make money. all this has been sensed and stucked into your brains. you have learnt and came out with your own ideas. which is why failiurs can make big too. but i am not sure wether i should continue with my studies or not. is my last year college am going university next year but am just confused

Reminds me of the book 'Its not how Good you are, it's how Good you want to be.'
I love the section called 'Have you noticed how the cleverest people at school are not those who make it in life?'
What you learn at school are facts, known facts.
Your job at school is to accumulate and remember facts. The more you can remember, the better you do.
Those who fail at school are not interested in facts; or maybe the facts are not put to them in a way they find interesting.
youracharacter 2 years ago
Some people simply don't have a great faculty for memory.
It doenst mean they are dstupid. It means their imagination hasnt been fired up by academic tuition.
People who are conventionally clever get jobs on their qualifications (the past), not on their desire to succeed (the future).
Very simply, they get overtaken by those who continually strive to be better than they are.
As long as the goal is there, there is no limit to anyones achievement.

@PresidentOfTheBlackI agree. Also people don't go to college just to get a high paying job. They improve themselves with Psychology classes and health. Or taking an appreciative art class. Join clubs, volunteer. Networking is huge, too. Good comment. I was in the navy for 4 yrs. and it was rough. College is a fucking paradise. I hear spoiled kids complain about college.

there is definitely a fallicy to the statement. but there is definitely a point to what she said. um... warren buffett did good in school, charlie munger, george soros, even bill gates was good in academia, he just decided to drop out when the opportunity came. It can go both ways. getting good grades doesnt have to mean your subservient to the society thats built this system. and doing bad in school, you get more cases of failures than successful people, but those tough enough can succeed.

True on everything you wrote. I'd also like to point out that you can make quite a bit of money as a doctor, lawyer, or high level manager. It may take years of schooling/education or working your way up the corporate ladder but it can be done. No one seems to be impressed with these occupations namely because they're so ordinary. They like stories about people who were poor who became rich and famous through perseverance and being in the right place at the right time.

I cant stand that point of view. You have to be a failure at school to fully subscribe to that notion. People you blow at school who become financially successful compared to people who figure out doing well at school is a good idea is very skewed toward educated people. Barbara is second rate anyway. People who dismiss education because its difficult & are too weak to exhibit self control are the worst.

That's very impressive for his age. I'm going to earn much more, but that's later in my carreer lol when I'm 30 or something. And by that time who knows what kind of money he'll be making.

Most entrepreneurs start out with 0 money, I repeat ! 0 money. Bills gates, Ted turner,Robert Dell, Steve Jobs, all college drop outs. Henry ford didn't even finish the 8th grade, Andrew Carnegie was a still worker with know education. Are education system produces employees. That's why 10% of the people control 90% of the money.

Ironically I will be buying a home tomorrow, well within my means. I'll be there for a short while and then rent it out. etc etc.
Most people go right for the large expensive house out of their means and never get ahead. Sadly college, in some cases, preps you for this. Also look up T.Harv Eker and his book. Best financial book I have ever read.

academic knowledge to be a successful entrepreneur and become a millionaire, you just have to know your business. Big difference. And BTW: I did my homework. Speaking with millionaires and billionaires said the same thing (the ones I personally spoke to.)
Brian685 3 years ago
Also, if you read the Millionaire Next Door, for example, by Thomas J. Stanley, most entrepreneurs were "average" students. Most were told they would never amount to much. Most were outsiders. Most didn't go with the crowd, but against it. I think you would also agree there are people working for Gates and Buffet who are smarter than they are in other areas, but don't make as much money as they do, because they don't own the company the work for it. You don't have to have a lot of ....

ihateuutube 3 years ago
Look... this is where it helps to be a good student. The correct question that you should ask is :
1) What %of A students are successful entrepreneurs?
B) What % of average students are successful entrepreneurs?
The point made in the video makes sense only if a larger % of average students become successful entrepreneurs as compared to the % of A students doing the same.
abhish1313 3 years ago
The fallacy lies in the fact that, by definition, there aren't very many people who succeed at being students.
From among 1000 students, say you have 100 good, 800 average and 100 poor students.
That means even if 100% of good students were to become successful entrepreneurs and a mere 13% of average students were to become successful entrepreneurs there would still be "more" successful entrepreneurs who were good students!!!
You see the point now?
abhish1313 3 years ago
You are still stuck in the mindset of which Barbara was talking about. Do what everyone else does. Being a good student dictates very little about your future life and is a narrow minded way of looking at things.
My parents neighbors were very successful stock brokers on Wall St. Now they they have lost their jobs....they have to sell their $3million home? They got good grades...but street smarts are what dictates how intelligently you spend money...

gates & allen, buffett, brin & page, zuckerberg, yang & filo, thiel, omidyar, soros were all A students. these wannabes just want to feel better about themselves for having been academic failures.
ihateuutube 3 years ago
I think those people are the exception to the rule. If you look at the statistics, most millionaires do not attribute their success to their academic achievements and the ones who do are usually attorneys or doctors. Gates and Buffet probably would, but don't forget both work with numbers on a daily basis. Most could not do what they do. So Gates and Buffett would attribute their success to their intelligence because you have to have a lot of it to do what they do.

I think there is some truth to grades and some to truth to people that weren't that great in school. I've known people that had masters..that didn't make that much money or some that had two degree's. I have a business however; I am a A to B student...however; in school I wasn't interested in classes that bored me. I think everyone needs a passion to love what they do...and exceed in what they do..and the money comes with their passion to succeed and persistance to do it again if you fail.

Most people who have straight A's spent so much time studying books that they did not have a chance to figure out people. Most people with C's studied people more than books. This is why most millionars are C students according to the statistical book entitle Millionaire Mind and the Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J Stanley. I believe to say that millionaires are D students is really stretching it. Also most millionaires want their kids to be A or B students-ain't that something.
