[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, I can't respect people like Ingvar Kamprad.  Kamprad grew up on a farm, poor, and used to buy and then resell matches on the street.  I mean, he founded IKEA and is now one of the richest people in the world, but, whoa, he didn't go to college.  What a loser.

Bill Gates got into a college, but he's a dropout, so technically also a loser.

OP, you are ridiculous.

But these people are outliers.  How many people can be like them?[/quote]

I know multiple people (non celebrities) who are not college educated, but who are financially successful.  As for celebrities, I think that getting a college degree might actually HURT some of their career prospects if their "chance" comes first when they are teens; they need to take that chance, not postpone it just for the sake of getting a college degree that isn't relevant to their chosen career anyway.

I have two graduate degrees, so I'm not anti-education, by the way.[/quote]
