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]
I don't know if you went to college or not, but you certainly didn't learn basic statistics.

Of course most college graduates are salary workers. Most *workers* are either salaried or hourly workers...and it is way more desirable in most situations to be in an appropriately salaried job (there are, of course, employers who get away with salarying jobs that should be hourly, but I don't mean those).

Yes there are a handful of billionaires who didn't attend or dropped out of college. Guess what, even more billionaires do have college degrees! If you think not attending college is the strategy for long-term career success, boy do I have a bridge to sell you.[/quote]
