[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The lack of a college degree really held back Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, Ted Turner, Michael Dell, and David Geffen from any real success.  Poor guys.

A lot of these guys figured out what top-level NBA players know: superstars are wasting their time if they stick around college for four years.

Are you trolling or ignorant as hell? These outliers are baby boomers and/or grew up rich and/or attended the most elite k-college schools in the U.S. Zuckerberg graduated from Exeter, then dropped out of Harvard. Turner inherited his millionaire dad's ad business and dropped (or was kicked) out of Brown. Gates's dad was a [i]highly[/i] connected rich lawyer and afford junior access to early computers, then Lakeside Prep school, then Harvard. Dell's mom was a doctor, his dad a stockbroker.

In what way are any of their paths applicable to a random 17 or 18 y/o middle class American dipsh*t in 2021 who attended a worthless k-12 public school and has received fake As and Bs for the last decade? The average Eddie teen isn't mulling Brown and Harvard, they're mulling community college for $5,000 in tuition a year (plus housing) and the regional public degree mill for $15,000 in tuition year (plus housing), where they need YEARS of remedial coursework to even be at university level.[/quote]
