That whole line of thinking disgusts me.
Uneducated people have become some of the wealthiest businessmen in the world Tony.
From John Rockefeller (quit school at 16) and even EINSTEIN (high school dropout who later failed entry to university).
David Geffen dropped out of college. Had a fortune of 5.5 BILLION dollars.
Steve Jobs dropped out of Reed College.
Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of college.
John Paul DeJoria never went to college and was told by his high school councilor he would "never amount to anything". He is the founder of Paul Mitchell products and Patron alcohol...worth over 4 billion dollars.
And here's a nice list of tech innovators who never went to college:

And if you read that last article you will see that billionaire Peter Thiel is paying kids $100,000 to drop OUT of school and start their own businesses.
Your statement is not only wrong...it's a full 180 degrees backwards.
Intelligence, ambition, drive, and a relentless work ethic is all you need. And with President Trump clearing the red tape of Federal regulation that kills new business...this is truly the land of opportunity.
The only people who will fail are the ones who listen to the kind of nonsense you just posted. |
Says the man who comes off as the spokeman for the RNC but says he doesnt buy into either of the parties.
You list icons as examples. If anyone could do it, we wouldnt celebrate those people because then they would be nothing special.
You said he will bring the good jobs. A good job was, someone was able with a high school education to get a job where they could buy a house ,have a family, etc. Most of the people who voted for Trump believed that's what he was talking about. That's never happening , technology not Obama killed that.
Most of America doesn't want to be a business owner, they want to go to their job work hard and make a decent living. And there is nothing wrong with that, everyone is not cut out to be a business owner. You need workers in the mix.
Also this all regulations are bad, don't you like clean water? Or when you take a prescription that it is what says it is? Most of regulations he killed don't affect you unless you are drilling for oil. Most regulations that hurt small biz owners are state not federal. When I wanted to start a dog cookie business, it was state hoops I had to jump thru not fed and I live in a GOP state. I quote Alan Greenspan on lack of regulations. When asked about the mortgage collapse. He said I thought they would police themselves.
Peter Thiel a very educated man(BA and JD), who wouldnt hire anyone without a degree says you dont need degrees.
He is right if you been programming since you were 10 yrs old . That kid doesnt need a degree but that's not who Trump was talking to on the campaign trail,we both know that.
