You said that people who become rich don't need an education. All of them are smart enough to found a business on their own and become billionaires that way.

Bardock42 is a whimpering pussy now who lost his flare to debate vigorously and just spouts senseless and thinly veiled puns here and there. You nazi pr*ck. Get your balls back from whoever you sold them to, you fat f*ck. What happened to the manly, chubby German big mouth we once knew, who'd flatten ignorance with a solid argument? Now it's like Andy Dick meets John Candy. You hybrid beefcake. Suck my c*ck
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: College Has Become Big Business
yes, but only because of the reputation one gains from going to university. id agree that beyond that universities are overrated. you dont have to be smart to flourish in a university, going to one isnt an indication of your intelligence only your ability to waste your own time.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: College Has Become Big Business
This I agree with.
No matter how smart you are, there's always some nerd that will do better than you that has tons of time and all they due is study study study and do homework. Some people are motivated. What's crappy is some people are much more capabale of working in the real world over that nerd example, yet they play around and do just enough to pass.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: College Has Become Big Business
You're using Bill Gates as an example of something that "usually" happens? He was on a different level then anyone else, hence why he was the richest guy on earth and those other motivated dropouts weren't.
In other threads you keep saying "If you can't find a job you need to get more education" and here you're claiming education is useless. Make up your mind.
He wasn't above anyone else, he was good, but he wasn't above them. Yeah, the guy is smart, but there was a shitload of luck involved in his stellar career.

however, wouldn't by that same definition, each person's life be the end result of exceptional circumstances?
I get what you are trying to say, but pinning success on chance isn't, imho, the all to it. Sure, there may be people as smart as Gates, but smarts are a tool, and he as an individual used them in the right circumstances to be successful. He does deserve credit for that, regardless of luck.

I think we can draw a difference in things that we achieve through our own ability and work and things we achieve through other people giving us chances and, especially, every variation of those two together.
Yes Bill Gates was smart, Bill Gates was able to cash in the opportunities he was presented with, but we also have to say that, regardless of his skill, due to some circumstances he had it easier to succeed than other's on his level.
Seen your edit, seems we agree.

I agree Bill Gates used skill to do what he did but it seemed KidRock was trying to say that ANYONE who was smart like Bill Gates could easily do what he did.
In other thread, when asked about people who only get sucky jobs, he said they had to educate themselves better. And yet here he says even those who do educate themselves will get sucky jobs. That is definitely a contradiction.
