This is the way I look at it. This thread seems to have become pretty heated. Especially with all the four asterisk word posts
I know people here do not want to see out younger members mess up their life, however...
People who think that school is not beneficial to them will not have their opinion swayed by people on a message board. Sometimes they need to learn the hard way.
As it was said much earlier, along the lines of "And this is the future of America." A quote I happen to like regarding this is in MitchelStafeijs' signature (Hope ya don't mind me mentioning ya, bud
):
"And what have we become? A consuming machine in a useless regime. And what more did we expect? A generation raised by T.V. and taught to neglect."
I think that sums it up pretty well.
By posting in this thread (as ironic as it is that I made THIS post), all you are doing is fueling the fire.
Before I end this post, you should look into those millionaires you speak of, Tally. They treated school with high importance. They just either dropped out or didn't go because:
1. Opportunity knocked and they took it
2. They were born into money
3. They came about an very, very big inheritance
Look at Bill Gates. He dropped out. Why? Opportunity. If you ask him about the importance of a good education, he will tell you hands down to get a good one.
