But 99% of the population is going to end up working for someone else, as opposed to being an entrepreneur, and those 99% are going to be much better off with a college degree. The statistics just bear that out. People with 4 year degrees have much higher average incomes and a much much lower unemployment rate than people without.
BTW, did you get the email I sent you yesterday?

going thru many emails and I did get yours thanks
well did you ever notice that self made millionaires in many cases have kids that are the total opposite, don't want to work, lazy etc?
thats because they rely on their parents and it allows them to be lazy.
many people walk around with their degree and think this is all I need, they rely on it to much.
as time goes on more and more companies dont give a shit about degrees but rather want specific talent and proof they can do what they say they can vs. here is a paper trust me.
just like you say those people would of been successful no matter what I can guarantee you that many guys who went to college and are not successful is because they relied on it to much and cant think outside the box, tons of kids who go to college only do so to please their parents.
People get very creative when they have nothing to rely on, its why many people when they reach a total bottom they can do amazing things.
My point in all this blabble is that right now and I mean right now there is EXTREME opportunities out there for the few that are left who are dedicated and motivated, to do things on your own or with teams that are all in a seriously motivated mind set, but its very few who take advantage of times like this, the world is full of people who have stories how they coulda shoulda woulda, college or no college its a great time now, when the markets turn around those who gave it all right now will shine.
Its all about innovation, those who innovate can kick the biggest fortune 100 companies asses.
Think about the following:
Amazon.com a company founded in mid 90's took on barnes and noble a company founded in 1873! and amazon now has the lead
Netflix founded in late 90's kicked blockbusters ass a company that was started in 1985
Apple comes out with a ipod and destroys entire industries like cd players, cd's etc all because they where thinking outside the box, they did the same with the iphone, they didnt give a shit that they are not a company in the phone business, they figured out unique technology to make life easier for people and gave giants that had a hold on that business like motorola, samsung etc a run for their money
These are extreme examples the point being is that if you think outside the box, and come to market quick and powerful you can really take over a % of a billion dollar industry.
