Ofcourse that's probably true, by the simple fact that the vast majority of the population isn't intelligent to own their own business, while a much much higher percentage college grads are infact intelligent to own a business.

But the college degree does not create the intelligence, the ability is there beforehand, it's just that those intelligent enough to start a business are drawn to college, because it's expected that most intelligent kids attend college. College is a filter to separate the intelligent from unintelligent.

There is a BIG difference between a college drop out and someone who never bother to go to college in the first place.

Although I don't consider it to be an empire, I'm 23 and I make nearly 3 times as much as the average American. My empire is steadily on it's way.

Errrrrmmm I know alot of people in my nursing program who I would die before I let them take care of me. Just going to college doesnt ensure intelligence. OTOH I know some people who will be amazing nurses and I hope they continue on for their masters/PhD. I'll tell you one thing tho, to survive in any setting, you not only have to have book smarts, you need street smarts/common sense or else the real world will bury your ass

I never intended to imply that all college kids are intelligent, only that most intelligent kids go to college, although most kids in college are not intelligent.

Please don't turn a generality into an absolute, there is nothing more annoying than that.

I'm sure there are even Harvard students who just studied hard to get there, but lack any extraordinary intelligence.

-Most intelligent kids are drawn to college.

-Although the majority of those in college are in fact not intelligent, but overall, they're more intelligent than most who did not go to college in the first place.

God do I agree with that bolded statement. My infamous oblivion save file erasing roommate is proof of that. Dang kid has a 3.97 as an EE major but it's only cuz if he's not with his g/f he's studying, he is dumb as a box of rocks otherwise. He's also of the sort that thinks because of his GPA he's entitled to things, but I disgress.

On topic and keeping it simple, I agree with you

You are not Azurik. If you make so much money, scan your fvcking amex black card or shut the fvck up. I've seen so many of your like come and go... Skywalker66, Freedomsbeat, etc.... but you just don't give up. You are the kind of person that was just supposed to be banned and forgotten about or laughed off the forum like Aimster, never to return.

Please do us all a favor and grow up a little. Stop being such a pretentious, penile compensating little douchebag, bragging about how great you are and how big your SUV is. Nobody cares.

I really hope you?ll grow up a little bit and realize in later years just how childish you acted on this forum (and probably in real life too).

Either that or I hope you die when you try to avoid hitting a child in a neighborhood and roll your goddamn land yacht in a telephone pole.
