The officail "who needs school thread"

[JGalt]

I agree with ZJ on this one. He actually seemed to describe me, other then he has more drive. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
I have no high school diploma, and a year in college. Looking back after finishing the first year of college with very good grades, I realized I didn't learn anything and left. Throughout my life I have always learned better on my own (reading books & life experience). Some people are just like that.

I've grown up beleiving that in order to be a success in life, school is not a necessity. I have met people with high school and no high school education that are millionaires and even former billionaires (still very close though). I have also met a good share that have University and college degrees and masters that are millionaires. But some people it is just not necessary. Even the people that I know who have degrees there is no doubt in my mind that they would have been sucessful even without their education. Many wouldn't even classify their education as the major contributing factor in their success.

ZJ hope you have a great time in Europe as I will (in Paris now) and what we'll learn here is far more then we could ever learn in a school. Good luck.

Here's a little poll to see where people stand.
