Having a College Education certainly does have its benifits! For
example when was the last time you have seen well manicured
Colledge educated CEOs in some of the worlds top Fortune 500
companys having to wipe up the mess that they have left behind?
Education comes in many forms!! Scott you have every right to be
proud in knowing that like me and many others who did not
finish High school It is persons like US that they look to , to
bail them out!!!!!!

Scott, When i say you should be proud, I mean not that you
should be proud of not graduating, but proud of your
accomplishments despite you not having done so. Your not bad at
flying B.Rollers either ;D I know of a few that the only thing
they have to show for their colledge education is a certificate
with degree on It! Its how one plays the hand he is dealt in
life that makes him or her the better person! Im 46, debt free
and have been retired for 3 yrs now! My son is now thy ceo of my
Construction & Home development co. I graduated from the
University of Hard Knocks and Hard Work!

Education doesn't necessarily make one smarter than one with
less education. It can open some doors that otherwise might be
closed. How one combines their education with common sense and a
work ethic is what makes a difference. Some of the most
incapable people I ever met were not capable of pouring piss out
of a boot because they had no sense or work ethics.

Well said. Education is by no means the key to success in every
field, but it can help open some doors. Common sense goes a
long way and i'll agree, I would much rather have the smarts to
get in out of the rain than be the holder of a Ph.D. As Tony
stated by example in a previous post, education isn't everything
and even the most educated make the biggest mistakes.
I am blessed to have the opportunity of going to college so I
took it. I'm a young guy, not married yet, not under the
strains of providing for a household so I have the time to go to
school and pursue a degree in hopes of obtaining a better job.
If it never helps me get a better job, then so be it. I am
capable and experienced in plenty of other trades to never NEED
it, and I can definitely survive without it.

Some see a college education as a back up plan and if it is the
best back-up plan one can have. If you don't need it, good for
you. But if you happen to need it, it will always come in handy.
Whether you have one or not, having one is the safer option. Are
there billionaires who don't hold a college degree? Of course
(Bill Gates anyone) but most of the billionaires do hold a
degree in some field and it is increasing even more. One can
succeed in life without a college degree, one could even succeed
in life without a high school degree but your chances of making
money and living comfortably goes up with a degree. It's like
saying "can a man build a great stock of rollers by purchasing
rollers from a swap? It is quite possible and has happened to a
select few but your chances are infinitely higher if you can get
rollers from an established flyer with an establish family".
With that said A college education is not a necessity and is not
the ultimate measure of a man or woman. A man is not defined by
how long he went to school but by what he does with what he has
and how he does it.

What is Success?? Is it the clothes you wear, the car you drive,
the house you live in? Success is measured not just in what you
have, but rather what you started with... Wealthy people we view
as successful in life (if actually analyzed) show no trace of
success. Ex: Born in a wealthy family, and passing away as a
wealthy person, what have they accomplished? I view success as a
person who is given nothing, works to get something average then
with hard work and dedication turns it into something that shows
the world they were here. Owners of rollers know all too well
that it is easy to say you have birds, even easier to buy birds
to fly, however thats not what we enjoy, its the satisfaction of
knowing what our flocks were like when we started and what they
are like today... Its those great men who played with genetics
and developed rollers (for the love of the bird as well as
research) that I view as successful and I admire... No degree on
this earth can gain you trust, respect, or love those are gained
by your actions. What can you take with you to the grave?? Only
thing I can think of is a smile so do what makes you smile ;D
... I do and the birds love the exercise...

gotta disagree a little bit. i was impressed with my small
circle of close friends including myself who went on to be
educators, a lawyer, an engineer, etc. It became quiet obvious
through the years of college and years later (now 20+ years
later) that we learned to go about the solution to a problem
from very different persepectives and thinking- the engineer,
the lawyer and the teacher. Now the specific folks I'm thinking
about (myself being one) had a predispostion to these three
fields prior to going into them, but that affinity was shaped
and honed in college, and the critical thinking process in all
three groups is distinctly different and that has much to do
with college. Paul Conway.

I understand your point, I have a degree myself, however like my
professor used to tell us "when we enter the class we will be
confused, uneducated and inexperienced we will have questions
that need answers and problems that need solving. When we leave
we will be confused on a higher level, still inexperienced, our
questions will have led to more questions, we will have
discovered other problems that need solving, but at least we
will be educated". ;) My focus on this topic is merely about
leaving your mark and stepping outside of the norm and doing
what makes you happy. If nothing more than building bird houses,
make the best D@mn bird houses the world has ever seen... No
degree can provide happiness (it might make life's journey a
little less painful) but we all reach the same finish line just
make your race count no one's headstone reads (Here Lies ____
Harvard Graduate with various publications in
blahblahblahblah...)

I have found that true success is quality of life .. it took me
a while to figure this out.
