Is it possible that people who are hard working and talented enough to become successful are the type of people who also make smart choices when going to college and actually graduate? Maybe such inviduals tend to be college graduates AND successful, i.e. a lot of them would have been successful without college.

I have an MS in engineering. I am successful in many different things, some completely unrelated to my education. I don't believe my education is more responsible for my success than my personality and talent is. I believe I was successful in school because of who I am and that my degree was an achievement that bettered me, but did not make me who I am.

The only important question is are you going to clear $500K this year, too? And, yes, you will pay more than your fair share so don't ask P&N.
