How many college grads really contribute to the betterment of human kind?

[/ QUOTE ]

All of them that work. Those that invest their earnings contribute twice. Productive work betters everyone.

Very few people have the talent to really make a difference to humanity, and most college grads are thinking about making bucks, not improving society.
