Give me a break. [/quote]

DP. I know two self-made billionaires who did not attend college. I’ve met a third (Bill Gates) who attended but did not graduate. That’s in addition to quite a few more run of the mill millionaires that I know. Most college graduates are salary workers who won’t take the risks necessary to get really rich. [/quote]

Yeah, these are extraordinary people and not a god comparison.  Lebron didn't play college ball either, does that mean its a good path to the NBA for most?  No, it isn't.

[b]Every single study ever done shows that colleges graduates earn substantially more overall than those without a degree[/b].  Every single one.  You wanna argue with all the data by mentioning times the coin landed on its edge, have at it.  But the rest of us are smart enough to know better.  Go to college, you'll likely make much more money.  That's not the only reason to go, but if $$$ are a goal, that die is cast.

I don't have any evidence to my last point, so I will qualify it as my opinion/speculation: Most of those "you don't need to go to college" people are anti-intellectual trolls with larger sociopolitical agenda.[/quote]
