hahah the donald doesnt have anything on SHAQ FOO!
at least he's a good role model. "Sports for me has always been, you know, fairy tale life. And this right here is real life," he said of his degree. "This right here means more."

That's actually a bit idiotic in his case. He's probably made $100+ million from sports. He's made more than 99.99% of the people out there by playing basketball.
To say that a degree that he really doesn't need (since he can live off interest alone) is more important to him is idiotic. To him basketball is more important, since he's in the NBA making a salary that most people will never see. Everyone has their own talent and they need to leverage that talent and concentrate on it. I wouldn't quit my day job at IBM to be an underwear model since I'm just an average looking guy. Shaq isn't exactly a genius, he's a good basketball player in the NBA so he should focus on that.
Next up: Tiger Woods proclaims the MCSE is more important to him than golf.
This is true, but you gotta give him credit for the fact that he still respects the value of an education...whatever that is nowadays.
To me, education is more about a mindset than a place. I'm always learning new things because I'm the type of weird guy who needs to find out how everything works, so you'll see me taking things apart that are in perfectly good working order just to see how they work.
To other people, they don't have that mindset, and they go through life not really caring how things work. They do go to college, but that seems to be the only place that they do any learning. I call those people "educated idiots", since they have a piece of paper stating that they've learned but they're really not an inquisitive individual.
I see this kind of thinking come up a lot in threads about a person's capabilities. Often people say, "No, I don't bother because I can afford to pay someone else to do it". To me, that's just idiocy. I can pay people to do stuff for me also, but why am I going to rip myself off in the long run when I can do it myself and get a free hands-on lesson in the process?
He comes across like an idiot, thus I wonder who he paid to write his exams and do his homework.
I think the first person who quoted me started it. All it takes one for the dominos to start falling. If I knew you fools would make fun of me, I wouldn't have posted it.

Apparently you can also attend the graduations in Phoenix, like Shaq did. Now whether it's carries the same prestige as an MBA from other schools...it does not.

fo shizzo? this thing is lame on so many different levels. first of all i have the utmost contempt for MBAs (though i have to say that piece of paper can open doors), second of all, a MBA from University of Phoenix?
the last sentence is funny, should have kept that speech short.
