Rick Perry's impressive college transcript

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

On the other hand, I've seen some pretty stupid Harvard Graduates.

One might conclude that it is the schools whose reputations have benefited from the quality of the students that have chosen to attend them than the other way around.

Smart successful people tend to do well -- regardless of whether or not they have a Harvard degree...or a 4.0 at Texas A&M.

Smart people who attend college generally get more than 2 A's.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

the majority of the people on this HoF college dropout list being entertainers of some sort

[Yonivore]

Christina Aguilera also being on the list

Idk how she made it as a singer and entertainer with no college education!

That and becoming hugely successful in an industry that relies on complex contracts and a savvy business a en.

Keep hatin'

[baseline bum]

It's a pretty big data set, you can choose to cherry pick the examples that suit your mockery but, that wasn't my point.

He was on the first page of your link. LOL that Yonivore is a real-life Michael Scott.

[ChumpDumper]

And, as I scroll through the pages looking for Democrat politicians, I keep coming across the phrase, "billionaire founder."

Like I said before, Success is rarely delineated by education.

Yeah, I call bull unless your only measure of success is a few hundred super rich and famous people.

[Yonivore]

the majority of the people on this HoF college dropout list being entertainers of some sort

But, not all of them.

It wasn't the size of the database but, that many of them are successful politicians and business people.

[ChumpDumper]

That and becoming hugely successful in an industry that relies on complex contracts and a savvy business a en.

So she hires a bunch of people who went to college to make her contracts.

Those people are also successful.

[Yonivore]

Smart people who attend college generally get more than 2 A's.

That depends on why they're there and if they're motivated to get more than 2 A's.

[RandomGuy]

Given the choice between Obama and another Texas Governor, I'm thinking some people might start scratching.

Pfft.

Any regret I might have had vanishes when I attempt to say the words "Vice-President Palin" without gagging.

Any hes ation I might have come next November will similarly vanish when I think about the potential for a Republican administration, no matter how moderate the ultimate nominee might be, to be filled with tea party idiots who think the world was created in seven days.

That makes being a Democrat *much* easier, ty president or no.

Being a successful singer and entertainer requires savvy business a en? Are you being serious right now, have you ever heard of these people called agents who singers and entertainers hire to negotiate contracts and business?

And sorry, but being an agent generally requires a college education.

[ChumpDumper]

I figure a cheerleader would get an A in PhysEd.

[Yonivore]

That Yonivore is a real-life Michael Scott.

I don't care who you are, that's funny right there!

Knowing whether or not your agent is screwing you requires a bit of intelligence, yeah.

[ElNono]

I miss Michael Scott, tbh

[Yonivore]

I miss Michael Scott, tbh

[MannyIsGod]

This thread is an excellent example of critical thinking, TBH.

[ChumpDumper]

Knowing whether or not your agent is screwing you requires a bit of intelligence, yeah.

The successful agent who went to college, yeah. And a successful lawyer who went to college makes sure of that.

[DarrinS]

Dude is obviously no academic giant, but is this what Dems are going with?

I suppose they can bring a copy of his transcript to the debate and he can bring a copy of the latest unemployment figures.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Knowing whether or not your agent is screwing you requires a bit of intelligence, yeah.

Mike Tyson is on the list and, seeing that he's made hundreds of millions of boxing but is broke, I think it's safe to say he didn't have the slightest clue of who was ripping him off.

[ChumpDumper]

Dude is obviously no academic giant, but is this what Dems are going with?

Way too early to be going with anything.

[baseline bum]

I go to U of A, have a 3.5, and passed out of the math classes Perry was too stupid to take before I even started college, so forgive me for thinking that getting 2 A's in an entire college career with the curriculum Perry had is pretty pathetic.

I'm shocked he was even allowed to take organic 2. Isn't it pretty standard to not allow someone to take a class when they couldn't get a C or better in the prereq(s)?

[ElNono]

Dude is obviously no academic giant, but is this what Dems are going with?

This from the party of 'where's the birth certificate'?

[Yonivore]

Mike Tyson is on the list and, seeing that he's made hundreds of millions of boxing but is broke, I think it's safe to say he didn't have the slightest clue of who was ripping him off.

Agreed. He's one of how many on the list?

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

The successful agent who went to college, yeah. And a successful lawyer who went to college makes sure of that.

being a successful uneducated person requires the smarts to know you need to surround yourself with educated people

[ElNono]

FWIW, I'll be in Yoni's list soon too once my acting career takes off...
