of course wankers with no initiative will remain what they are whether they get a college degree or not. college is what you make of it, and if you work your ass off, it will pay off very nicely.
now if i were to get an associates, i'd be an electrician rather than some wankery degree.

and before i forget: there are MANY professions where a degree is required. you simply can't be a nurse or doctor without a degree, for example. licensed professions require study.

and i'll add futher: why does everybody who does NOT finish college feel compelled to justify their choice by encouraging others to do the same?

EDIT: and furthermore!
dave thomas grew up in a different era. the fact is that today's jobs require a greater degree of knowledge and the BA is soon becoming the new high school diploma.

Burn, burn, and triple burn! But I guess you are right. I did drop out of college. Twice actually. Yeah, I know, it's pathetic. And don't think I'm not reminded of that by my mom, brother, wife, etc., all of the time. So maybe I feel that if I can get more people to follow in my way, then the rule that majority wins will go into effect and I will be in the right again.
