Why?
Maybe because College is the new HS?

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I'm confused. Are you saying the top 5 percent of wealthy people didn't go to college? I'd beg to differ.[/font]It all depends on what you want. Like i stated earlier, if its millions you want, i wouldnt suggest college. There's a reason the Top 5% are wealthy and 95% isn't. College opens more opportunities yes... If you want a job. The top 5% don't have jobs, they own businesses, meaning they created their own opportunities. I'm actually debating with myself if school is even worth it. Cutbacks have been pushing me further and further behind and I want to get ahead in life.

Exactly. It gives you the pieces, but you have to provide the "glue" to have them put together well.Originally Posted by humpasaurus rex
College is basically a tool to get you what you want in life. College works if you know what you're going to do and how you're going to get there. The successful people you mention are the outliers in the upper 2 percentile.

I'll stop you right there. I went to WSU (Washington State). The time I was there we had a Mormon president who was intent on destroying the culture of the school. Since I left, they replaced him with a guy who literally returned a portion of his salary because he was invested in the progress of the university. He took a damn pay cut to say "hey, I'm not messing around." I respect him WAY more than the president who was in place when I was there, and I;m not even a student.Originally Posted by Anathema
I went to college but found myself totally disenfranchised mostly by the fact that it is nothing more than a business. I got tired of seeing articles showing how much money these school deans and presidents are making, and at the same time hearing each semester how much tuition increased.
