[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are different kinds of "smart". I was book smart but made poor choiced in career, mate, etc.[/quote] What is "smart"? What benchmarks do you use for intelligence? My grandfather had untreated dyslexia growing up, never went to college, became a plumber, built a multimillion dollar plumbing and heating business, invested very well, had a NW of close to $10M and retired in his 50s after having six children and paying for all of them (and their children) to go to college. My grandfather valued education, despite not having a lot of traditional education, and was a great investor and businessman. In contrast, my parents who collectively have two masters and a PhD (and have been working for 45+ years) make a combination of $160K working for state government and a local community college. [/quote] you forgot a critical skill required to be a rich plumber - dishonesty, ripping off innocent, ignorant homeowners! [/quote]
