[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bill Gates didn't have a college degree. Neither did Steve Jobs. Or Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle. Or Michael Dell. Or Ted Turner or Kirk Kerkorian or Ralph Lauren or Roman Abramovich. All of them are billionaires. Therefore I believe there is more than one way to demonstrate intelligence, creativity, ambition, and dedication. Making it through four years of drinking/semi studying for B minuses pales in comparison to the accomplishments of these guys.[/quote] But many of these people were in college and dropped out because they had already started successful businesses (which sounds like may be the case for OPs DH). And many were at very competitive colleges. To me that is different than flunking out or not going at all. I'd be interested in actual data but I suspect for every Bill Gates or Michael Dell there are hundreds or probably thousands of college dropouts who are not successful.[/quote]
