What I mean is this: what is this article about? Sure the average American teenager is pestered beyond measure about going to college. However, the motivation for such should never be getting a better job or making more money. Research has clearly indicated that for those students who enroll in college for those 2 reasons have a lesser than 90% chance of actually making it through. What people (adults, counselors, parents, sign/others) need to understand is the notion that college does not, or will not do any of those aforementioned ideals for anyone. College doesn't make people smarter; I'm sure I could quadrouple your list of college failures. What college does do and it's only intention to do is to 'TEACH A PERSON HOW TO LEARN.' The advantages of looking at a college education through that lens makes a person far more marketable and appealing. The actual odds of your entrepreneurs achieving what they have are literally in the billions to one. Cheers! omc Whilst I believe that this is a truly good article, somehow or another, am I missing something? What I mean is this: what is this article about?

I heard it said best from an entrepreneur who also dropped out of college and his business was pretty much struggling for 3 years before it started bringing in noticeable income. He said "i didn't even have a college degree, what was I going to do? go work in McDonald's? my business had to succeed." Of course I don't recommend anyone skips the college degree, I just think that creating leverage for yourself is a great way to stay on track, and not having a college degree can be great leverage.
