@spartan5127v2 Who will become the next Bill Gates anyway?. Yeah they are extremely smart at what they did to made their fortune but it doesn't mean they we're straight A students, George W. Bush was far from it at Yale, Steve Jobs was no 4.0 student in high school himself, just because someone isn't a school person doesn't mean they won't succeed out in the real world, book smarts and street smarts are totally different.

@alkatraz2020 You are stupid.. Go to College and waste 4 years of your life reading textbooks and learn to sit down and shut up? not to mention the cost of college and the student loan debt plus interests many people would put on.. now compared that to using all the money to start a stable business.. hmm.. wow that's a hard one.

@whoo689 why would you call Peter Thiel an idiot? He's the one giving out 100 grand for anyone who wish to create a startup in their early 20s.. he doesn't force anyone to do so. The choices are theirs.

@asdfgoogle that's true for most typical average people, yes.

@auzer1000 It's Harvard, not Howard.. so yeah, you clearly need a college education.

@spartan5127v2 Thtas not true Einstein didn't do good in school and was a C student.He is only known becuase his mentor shared the same views as him trained him and looked after him. If it wasn't from his mentor we wouldn't be talking about Einstein.

Sooo, in regards to people interested in acting as a career (which I am not, I am in college btw), what exactly are you suggesting? Study that field in college just to graduate with student loans and four years of the time you could have been spending pursuing acting opportunities wasted in a classroom....Or are you suggesting studying something you have no interest in that will guarantee you a more stable job you have no interest in instead of doing what you love to do?

My dad has always been a boss or a high level man in a company and has never went to college. He is just naturally good at leading.
Most of them come from well connected wealthy families too.

People have to keep in mind that the richest people who didn't go to college are extremely smart to begin with. If you are a C high school/college student and think about skipping college or dropping out of college to be the next bill gates, don't. It's not going to work out for you.
