LOL...

The notable dropouts were not your typical dropout.

This article is a little too entrepreneurial happy and unrealistic.

Save America?

There are way too many problems than a bunch of creative minds without a degree to save America. What are they going to do? Create another bubble?

Don't you just love articles that are based on logical fallacies?


The people in the articles would have done just as well with a degree as without.

The degree is a non factor to their success. The school, however, was a factor.

Why does America need to be saved? Aren't poor people fat enough? Don't our poor have enough cars and televisions in their free rent, multi-bedroom homes? Don't we have enough excess now that we can sit and cry for the starving children of Africa and send our dollar a day to some remote organization to relieve us of our guilt for eating 25 hot wings and discarding more food than third world families eat in a week?

We don't need to be saved, we need to be harvested. We are ripe.
