Schooling does not equal education.

It is not what you got, but what you do with what you got.

Most people who get a BS tend to think they have it made as they get a good job out of school and begin to float along the road of "success". Yet real success, the big money, is made through risk and effort not through a fancy seal on a degree or three letters after your name...

Yeah -- good points.

Agreed, but the statistics show that it helps.

One of the richest people that I know (I went to high school with him) Dropped out. But he worked hard and had a vision. So an education is not always necessary or a guarentee. (and no, the money didn't come from his family. )

Well Cher was a high school drop out -- IIRC -- and she became one of the most successful singers known.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Well if she went to college maybe she'd be able to sing better than a pig stuck with a harpoon .

[rah]

Yeah, talent can trump eduation.

Oh yes you are .

Can someone explain why Cher has been so successful if she is an awful singer??

[Japher]

so can effort.

I have a friend who was told by our counciler in HS that he would never amount to anything. It took him 4 years of community college to get into a university. He now his BS in Forestry and is a city planner.

Not huge, but he learned that he can do anything he tries. He just dropped 80 pounds and is training for the lumberjack games

Effort trumps everything.
