And yes, I "wandered" into the realm of adult. I'm a newbie at best and find most of the persons here quite interesting. Perhaps I'll make some extra money from it, but it really doesn't matter as my living has been made already. I do have a few concepts that may come in handy for the overall industry, but we'll see if there is a niche for me to show that.

When it comes time to being in an actual business setting and being professional, you could absolutely learn a thing or two. But I'd doubt that because you already have a chip on your shoulder about "college" people.

Read this peeps, carefully too...

As I said before, there are people who, regardless of educational level, will NEVER make anything of themselves in life. Just because you know a few who went to college does not reflect poorly on tertiary education as a whole. The fact of the matter is that I can show you even more unsuccessful "nobody's" who DIDN'T go to college.

The concept of speaking negatively about a University education finds its root in some of the most ignorant thought processes on this planet. Even the most successful persons who didn't go to college are aware of the fact that to get things done, you absolutely must have highly educated people in your corner. Look at persons like Bill Gates or even Oprah. Do you think that they surrounded themselves with college dropouts like they actually were? No. Of course not.

And hence my point is proven. Show university education the respect it deserves because even though you have some people who are naturally intelligent and have no need for university, the modern day world was designed by and depends upon the minds of those who focused on educating themselves. Let's see you go to a doctor who never went to university or drive on a highway that was designed by someone who didn't have a college level education.

I rest my case. Save the insults for someone who is actually worthy of them.

And no, I don't think that I'm better than anyone who didn't go to college, but when someone dares to insult my level of education to due their own ignorance, that's just pitiful.
