Now that the only thing that has risen lately is crime, here's some real solid hope for all you upwardly mobile losers out there brought to you by your pals and lords at MSN. The following is the daily shit stains article about not worrying so much about graduating from college because, as you should already know stupid, some of the worlds most adapted creatures have found their niche by following their passions, people like Bill Gates and the lead singer from the Red Hot Peppers. The only thing they won't tell you about Bill Gates and the Hot Peppers is that those hefty spuds dropped out of HARVARD and UCLA for Christ sakes because they had the strong bubblings beginning in the brains and loins, they didn't drop out of nightclasses in Movie Watching and Folk Art at Southweastwestern Area Community College- Independence, Iowa simply because they were lazy, or poor, depressed, slightly malnourished etc. Simply put, dropping out of a prestigious national University is not the same as dropping out of a locally frowned upon community college, no matter which way you try to rub it. One way it is not similar is that, if you were accepted easily by Mater Harvard, you are probably already quick and connected, the Vanderbilts might not be on the speed dial but neither is the drug dealer and you probably don't have a family member who has been in and out of prison. If you drop out of the community college you probably don't know what a Vanderbilt is and your mother and father, already divorced, are probably working paycheck to paycheck, which is exactly what you will be about 95% likely to be doing if you drop out. I'm sorry, but you will not be likely to start a throbingly vibrant company, again, no matter which way you try to rub it. Here's a chunklette of the article.
"Higher education and higher income often go hand in hand. But a college diploma certainly isn't the only ticket to the gravy train -- just ask Microsoft co-founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen. These two college dropouts are now among the wealthiest people in the United States, with an estimated combined net worth of $72 billion."
"They have plenty of company. Five of the six richest self-made billionaires on Forbes magazine's list of wealthiest people in the nation didn't finish college."
